I find that working on production code with well defined use cases and requirements to be the most satisfying, and working on new proof of concept / demos / marketing tools to be the least satisfying.

So on balance, more of the legacy projects I've worked on have fit those criteria than the new builds, but the couple of new builds that had well defined use cases, and no legacy code to deal with were the absolute best.
