A Family Story

How would you prefer to read your family's story? I don't think people realize how many ways a story can be told. I've taken "Creative Non-Fiction" and "Short Fiction" writing using my family history in workshop. Some of the stories that have come out of it have been well received (though I think my family is too bias). I have two more writing workshops on the horizon, so I'm curious about what my potential audience thinks about family stories.

What genre of writing would you prefer?
* Biographies are detailed accounts of a person's life based strictly on researched facts. 
* Creative Non-Fiction are stories that just stick to the facts and research with a narrative style. It's honest writing with flair, but no fiction or suppositions. 
* Historical Faction or Fiction, based on facts and true events/people; however imagination and suppositions combine to enhance the narrative so it reads more like a story.The story is real with several fictionalized or dramatized elements.
* Slice of Life are stories without a plot and are more like scenes of everyday life. 

What writing format would you prefer?

Children's Story
Short Story
Novella
