Personally, I prefer a cool temperature. 65 is pretty much my ideal. That said, my wife and eldest son insist on keeping the thermostat at about 80 during the winter (and the AC set to maximum during the summer because anything over 70 is too hot for them). During the fall they have been known to do both at the same time. I could live with 68 (but be sweltering).
In the long run, I think the cooler temperature is healthier and easier to adjust to. If you really think about it, it is always easier to throw on another layer of clothing if you're cold, but you can only remove so much.
