I'm not that big a fan of tragedy.. So I'd say "happy".

Doesn't have to be overly saccharine "Everyone lived happily ever after" but it shouldn't be, say, like FFX or Kite.

And I don't necessarily agree that "tragic" endings leave more of an impact than happy ones. I rember Tenchi Muyo just as much as the aforementioned titles, and that ended "happily" (that's Tenchi Universe I'm talking about there..). It ultimately ends up depending on wether the ending is well done or not. If it leaves things just kind of like an open wound where everyone's just dead or alone and none of the loose ends are tied up, then it doesn't leave an impact. That goes likewise for if everyone's got a fresh prozac prescription but no loose ends are tied, as well..

All in all, that long winded paragraph can be condensed into one thought.. "Happy or sad, the ending leaves an impact depending solely on the quality".
