My impression is that people are tending to trend away from long and complex lineages in favor of shorter ones that are easier to trace. I'm seeing more and more trade requests specifying "no more than 5th generation," or third generation, or whatever. So I would say if you're interested in trade value, or the trade value of offspring, caveborns are probably the way to go.

That said, I have never been that particular, and there are a lot of others out there just like me. If it's a rare that I need (a holly, for example), I would take it whether it is caveborn (I know...an impossibility at this point), part of a long lineage, a short lineage, inbred, purebred, or whatever. My preference is to avoid inbreeding when I intend to breed, but aside from that, all bets are off.
