I prefer digitigrade, it looks better to me. Digitigrade also has natural spring in the design and probably makes more sense for fast/efficient designs. The hip, knee and ankle joints also looks like it has equal range of motion.
Unguligrade (hooves/toe) looks like the range of motion is greatest at the ankle joint, makes the mech more prone to wear and tear. It looks like it should be fastest though.
Plantigrade (humans) looks like it’ll be the more stable platform, but its not sexy.
