Depends on what you like.
You'll most likely go with a keyboard featuring CherryMX switches, so you should probably check out Cherry's website.
You can click on the switches on top to "navigate through the switches" to list off their stats.

A lot of people prefer CherryMX reds due to their low activation force, making them take a bit less stamina, while some people need the feedback of CherryMX blues / browns to know that they pressed the key.

It all comes down to preference. I'd advise you to go to a local store and test out the different switches.

Personally I would recommend Outemu Blue switches, but everyone is different and have different preferences, I'd do what KSN said and go to a place and test some switches and see which one you like best.

I've never use that much types of switches myself, but my fav ones are:

1. Cherry Red
2. Cherry Black
3. Cherry Speed/Silver

The best way to find out is through trying them or even playing with them. If you are inconsistent as hell, like me, go get a keyboard with a hot swappable switches.
