English
Definately English
For those shows that have a lengthy name, in English it wont be as long

For example
Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha: Shijou Saikyou no Maou no Shiso, Tensei shite Shison-tachi no Gakkou e Kayou

turns into

The Misfit of Demon King Academy

mostly English unless it’s a series that no one uses the English name for, like Monogatari

I like a little bit off both

For example Kimi No Na Wa for "your name"

And Assassination Classroom over "Ansatsu Kyoushitsu"

I ONLY use English titles, EXCEPT when the Japanese title has a acronym or whatever you would call it, like

OreImo, Konosuba, Higehiro, Bofuri, etc

Depends on either: which one I heard first, which one others use more, if I'm used to saying it in Japanese/English, or if it's only in Japanese.

I'll say The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, but say Asobi Asobase

It depends, but for the most part I use the English titles because they're easier to memorize.
I sometimes forget to finish my sentences.

I tend to lean more on English Titles since it's easier to look up with.

Depends.

Sometimes the Japanese title sounds cooler than the English (whether direct translation or reworked for English).

Pr is the first way I heard/saw the title and is the only way I remember it.

Sometimes can benefit a search result or even saying what a title is if it has a weird title and wanting to say the Japanese more so it's more 'fitting' to the situation.
