The style you prefer simply depends on your temperament. In a hatha class we take more time to get into the pose, hold and come out of the pose. Hatha is a good place to start for beginners. Vinyasa/flow classes have emerged from the Ashtanga vinyasa system with the movement from pose to pose being more fluid, almost like a dance.
Where hatha/vinyasa are yang styles of yoga, yin yoga is the polar opposite. Yang types of yoga target the muscles while yin yoga targets the deep connective tissues: ligaments, joints, fascia and bones.

Yin yoga is mostly floor-based and the poses are held for several minutes. Props are often used to provide support.

In restorative yoga, the intention is to allow the body to melt into the supporting props and completely let go. This is a practice for times when stress levels are high or when recovering from injury or illness.
Commonly known as breathwork, there are a multitude of pranayama techniques for different purposes. Pranayama can be used to energise, calm, soothe or balance.

The various techniques teach us to connect with our breath, increase lung capacity, breath more efficiently and balance the nervous system. Pranayama will often be incorporated into a postural yoga class.
Chair yoga, makes yoga practice accessible for those with limited mobility, who can't get down to the floor and whose balance is highly challenged. Poses are done either sitting on or standing beside a chair. \
