Pickle suits, BDU's, and ASU's; which did/do you like best?

For those who served and have worn more than two styles of uniforms, which uniform did you like the best. I have worn the "pickle suit", bdu's, and dcu's. Would you still wear them today? Have any or all of these affected the colors you like? As for me, well the end result of wearing any uniform with green in it has caused me to absolutely loathe the color green in any form or fashion. I liked the cut of the fatigue uniform it was like wearing "normal" clothing despite the ugly olive drab green color. Anyone else have an opinion? Lets hear it.

When I was starting out, they were just issuing the BDUs, but did not have enough BDU Field Jackets, so we all got one Woodland and one OD green. We were also able to wear the able to wear the jungle fatigues, which were the best uniform ever in the Summer...except the breast pockets?

I likes the OD green uniforms. When pressed and with a pair of nicely shined boots they looked very sharp. The drawback was the tucked in shirts if your were not in great shape. Back when I had them I was about 150-160 pounds, so that wasn't a problem.

I liked wearing the OG-107's, they were super comfortable in the summer time at Ft. Bragg, especially sitting in a harness on Green Ramp waiting to load the plane.
