I prefer the albinos! 
I love that instead of the variable brown/black the male gets a nice platinum look to him:
Females end up looking almost the same as regular colored ones. Save for the lovely red eyes:
My goal at one point was to put 4 groups of albino Malawi cichlids in a 100 gallon tank with Tahitian Moon Sand for substrate and some of the darkest rocks I could find, which around here are a nice blue/slate colored beach cobble. I had the fish for the set-up, albino M. greshakei, P. socolofi, M. auratus and Labeotropheus trewavasae "redline" and while I loved having them all I just never got around to setting them up just how I wanted. I still want to try it someday.
