| I'm not sure I've experienced a sandbox style game, a DM who does it well enough can make any story seem like a sandbox.
To sandbox or not it depends on your players and their characters they need a drive to go out and do stuff, events can't sweep them along unless its other members of the group of course.
Myself I like a little story driven and a little sandbox a bit of each would be my ideal, with large amounts of improvisation from the DM which takes into account players actions and backgrounds.
as a side note:
DM'ing as a whole is a skill I've probably only seen 4 people who've nailed it over around 15 different DM's and I'm definetly not one of those, it is possible to DM a good game without nailing it, kudos to Pete (Tribe 8) Alex (Planescape, Marvel) Tree (low powered superhero and starwars) and Gareth (Vampire, Marvel) the aforementioned 4.
