Hmm, this was a tough one for me. I like to have a variety as what works best/makes more sense will depend on the sim and what the career is meant to be. I really love the freelance careers as they allow you to decide when and for how long your sim works, thus also allowing you to focus on other things like skills and aspirations when you want to. It's particularly great for parents, ghosts and vampires, or just that sim you really want to spend more time with. Conversely, rabbit hole careers, despite all the hate they get, can be more convenient, particularly when you have a big household, as the sim looks after themselves at work and earns a regular income. In my main household I have one sim as a freelance writer/stay-at-home parent and the other in a rabbit hole career, which works really well.
Careers aren't often my main focus or something I want to 'play out' myself, so I tend to prefer rabbit hole careers over active professions for my sims. They also tend to have aspirations associated with them. I haven't played the active careers much, but I do wonder if they might get repetitive and work better for single households. Still, I suppose having a choice is nice? The same goes for the CL optional work from home careers. Choice is good.
I am also really hoping for more skills/hobbies in future e.g. sewing/knitting, embroidery, origami, alchemy etc. and I think having having these as opportunities for self-employment would be brilliant. The reason I want hobbies are more for personal fun though e.g. knitting a cosy jumper as a gift. If the sole focus is money making, then I have to choose either the good old rabbit hole or CL style optional work from home career. I really want more 'every day' options, particularly for handy sims, e.g. mechanic, repairman, lawyer, librarian, teacher, professional dancer etc. Honestly though I hope we continue to get a bit of everything to suit all sim and job types. The freelance option has so much potential to grow. Where's my freelance photographer and repairman/woman?
