Kinda depends on your use case, right? Like, if you're a regular user trying to dodge restrictions, forward proxy all the way (or just use Tor).
But if you're running a website? Reverse proxy is a must. Security, caching, SSL... way too many perks. Cloudflare is basically a giant reverse proxy, and it's free for basics.
Still, the reverse vs forward proxy debate is funny—they do opposite jobs but somehow look similar at first glance.
