Free Verse or Not?

I like poetry, it's fun to write and fun to read, that is if the poet is good. But there is the question of whether or not to use a specific form like a sonnet or a villanelle, or to write free verse. It's hard to decide; free verse is easy to write and it is easy to express feeling and emotion with free verse but poetic forms are a fun challenge and are really good when they are well done. Both have pros and cons so I have so much trouble deciding which to write. If you have any ideas which one is better please comment and give your reasons, maybe you can help me decide.
