Instances of line-bred species to improve available coloration should be excluded (Discus, Angels, electric-blue-whatevers, etc).

Discus are still cool line breed or not and blue Acara are too.  The electric blues are a little to much for me to say I like them.

I like them too, but for the purpose of the discussion, they may not be as naturally colorful as the only-in-captivity versions. (FWIW, I like the natural versions better too - trying to not be bias).
