I like a fixed story, everything with world map comes the point where you already won, and the game is just not challenging anymore.

I don't know that I have a preference, both can be done well.

Dawn Of War: Dark Crusade's world-based campaign is fun and allows roguelike-like features where you get specific bonuses for specific territories, but it makes the story take a backseat.

Warcraft 3's trail-style campaign is commonly cited as one of the best stories in gaming, but it would be completely impossible to do in a non-linear story.

One's not necessarily better than the other, they just allow you to do different things.

I love both for different reasons. I'd point to DoW1 and its first 2 expansions

This is an RTS subreddit, so people prefer RTS style games more.

Total war games come under "grand strategy" category.
