Spirits Go Poop?: Would you rather be a human dragon rider or an anthropomorphic dragon person?

Would you rather be a human who happens to ride a dragon or would you rather be a half-dragon/half-human being who is a fusion of both species? Would you rather be a human who rides across the skies on your rootin' tootin' mother trucking dragon or would you rather be a big ol' scary dragon person who flies on your own wings and spits your own damned flames because YOU are the rootin' tootin' mother trucker and not your winged reptile steed? Huh? Which one is it hot shot? Are you the dragon rider or the dragon person?
