Do you prefer that your gurus come from the East or the West ?

i prefer rabbis

A Guru, in essence, is not a persona but a phenomenon—an experience of truth. When you experience that truth in a person, you call them a Guru: one who leads you from darkness to light, from ignorance to enlightenment.

Regarding East and West, I assume you mean differences in background and perspective. The West is largely shaped by religious frameworks, especially Semitic traditions, which influence its spiritual outlook. In contrast, the East emphasizes spirituality as a lived experience rather than a defined religion.

So, if you are seeking a spiritual path based on direct experience, a practical rule of thumb is to look toward Eastern traditions for guidance. If you’re comfortable with clear rules, customs, and a philosophical approach, a Western guide would be the right choice.

I prefer they don't come at all

For me a western interpreter of Eastern stuff may be more ideal for my purposes, being more understandable.

No matter where you are there is always an East and a West. I don't think you can really ask this question in a global context.
East to some is West to us and visa versa.
Maybe you need to define it the way I think you meant it and say America or China.

I prefer Western, like a woman I’m dating or married to.

The word guru comes from South Asia. The rest were just white people who think their chakras are stuck in the 10th dimension or whatever
