Doing a little market research. I already dry the classic Genovese basil and I am looking at offering a basil variant. I am wondering which one people would be more likely to use.

I would say that I can't imaging using DRY Thai basil-- I use it fresh.

Thankyou to those who alerted me to the lack of answers on the first draft :), this is all corrected, and you can now answer normally.

I voted lemon basil because I have used it before. I do not have experience with Thai basil... maybe I am missing out!

I use Thai enough that I grow it year-round in the very limited space I have to keep things alive through the winter. Lemon basil is a nice-to-have.
