I would say I'd rather never be stopped. Because like mentioned, when you're dropped you can still get up to your feet and fight with everything you have left. Aside from that fighters that get dropped from time to time usually have a ton of heart and end up winning not only the matches in which they're dropped, but a whole slew of new fans as well, see Diego Corrales and Arturo Gatti.
I would rather be dropped. Again if your dropped you could always get up and finish the fight. It shows how much heart you have in you. Look at how many times Trinidad was knocked down and his career was still great. I bet you if he had been stopped in those fights, he would not be considered a great fighter.
I would rather not be stopped (and never was) but I did have the odd flash knock down, it doesn't mean too much as long as you get up and come back, a knock down can be as much about balance as power!
