Spell Focus - Which School To Pick

[Olaf the Stout]

In my thread here about what feats to choose for a 1st level Wizard, many people suggested I take Spell Focus. The question is though, which school should you take it in and why?

I know that the school you choose will depend greatly on what style of caster you plan on playing but I am interested in hearing people's thoughts on the topic anyway.

So, what school do you take the Spell Focus feat in and why?

I like spell focus enchantment. Lots of fun and good spells that require saves.

I have now added a poll. I left it multiple choice in case people took Spell Focus in more than one school.

Gotta love gnomes and illusions

Only Illusion if Gnome and going for shadowcraft mage.

Otherwise Enchantment or Transmutation for the "Save or Fight Ends" spells.

I gotta agree with Crothian. Some of my favorite spellcaster characters were Enchantment specialists. Something about being able to make monsters and villains do what I say without any sort of free will involved on their part, is very satisfying. Enchantment is so much more forgiving than any other school. Fireball a tavern, and you're screwed. Charm the wenches and barkeep, and hey, free food and information. Huzzah!

Transmutation - I've found most of my favorite spells are transmutation. Polymorphs for example...
