Should've divided that new Horde into "Western Horde" and "Eastern Horde" because I sure ain't trusting those skinny east guys across the sea.

Thrall's Horde really isn't the same as the Horde under Sylvanas, if that was an option I'd vote for it.

Thralls horde, it ain't on the list for some reason...
You already talked about it, OP, but it's definitely an error to mention the New Horde as the Horde ruled by Sylvanas.
You need to qualify those Horde with their main leader/heroes. Not just a """""random"""" leader.
You do not talk about the apogee of Roma (SPQR) by mentionning this last random kiddo who ruled 1 year before the collapse.
New Horde is the era of Thrall. You can mention the current leader, but you can't just forget to mention Thrall on the description. It's not possible.
Anyway, I still voted the New Horde as this is the one I like and support. But as second choice I would probably go for the True Horde.

My favorite is pre-cata horde.
Dead Horde
Thrall and Garrosh horde = not remotely the same thing.

Needs Thrall horde as an option.
To all the people bitching about "Where's Thrall's Horde?" the Horde under Thrall, Vol'jin and Sylvanas' rules is all "New Horde". Garrosh has been technically its leader for quite some time, however he's the only one of these leaders who pushed for a strong "reformation" of the organization to make it look like the Old Horde, hence the eventual creation of the "True Horde".
Orgrim's coup to strip the Old Horde from Blackhand's (and Gul'dan's, most importantly) hands could be considered a sort of "reformation" as well, however apart the apparent difference in motivations and ideology, circumstances forced Orgrim to not only follow the same path carved by Gul'dan but to use the warlock's magic and other powers obtained through forceful methods. For that reason the Horde could still be considered the same under the "Old Horde" name.
OT: Dark Horde and Fel Horde are basically the same garbage, just different masters lording them around. The True Horde was a weak bastardization of the Old Horde. The latter was no doubt competent but I can't say I like it that much, the only things I liked of that Horde were some of its major figures (Orgrim, Kilrogg and so on). The Iron Horde was kind of cool with all its over-the-top tech but that's about it.
Overall I still consider the current incarnation of the Horde the most interesting of all (albeit not flawless).
I prefer Horde under the leadership of Thrall. Not an option on this poll, so my vote goes to the old horde.
New Horde should be split in two : before the undead dictator and after the undead dictator.
Thrall's Horde, personally - the Horde of Thrall, Vol'jin, and now Sylvanas. I prefer the Horde to fit in the "noble savage" archetype, myself; proactive as opposed to reactive (though sometimes without due forethought) and an unwieldy melange of cultural influences as opposed to the homogenized feel of the Alliance. I like how the Horde races hold themselves as distinct from one-another, you'd never wonder into a Tauren, Blood Elven, or Troll settlement and wonder who was primarily in control of it. Though the Alliance races also have cultural and architectural distinction (especially the Draenei and Night Elves), there's always felt like a general theme of falling into Human standards unless you're actually in or around a specific racial capitol. The Horde always seems more distinct, and even in Orgrimmar the feel of the various races are on display in the different valleys.
For better or worse, the Horde seems like the home of individuals and iconoclasts; a motley band of peerless champions bound together loosely by shared aims. The Alliance feels more regimented, less individual - strength in numerical or tactical superiority.
"We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
