Satem over everything
Neither. I'm an Afro-Asiatic Semite.
Funny how Romance languages swapped the Latin 'k' for an 's', but they're Centum alright. Except for Sardinian which still has traces of the 'k'-phoneme.
If your poll is about our native languages, then mine's centum. If it's a war between centum and satem languages, then I choose centum again. However, I prefer a satem language to Dutch. xD
The ugly Dutchling might grow up to become a beautiful swan.

By nationality, I'm centum, by ethnicity I'm satem
Satem-Centum classification is considered updated by a variety of linguists these days btw.
Satem, because of culturally, historically, linguistically and geographically reasons..
