I like the honey comb ones the best plus you can use them to sort out what rooms you want for what mods, storage or whatever else you need. Different room different color.
Ya i know it just takes some of the intensity out of it and also cobblestone used to be fairly creeper proof but i think they changed that. I know xycraft made an explosion proof block and obsidian is also blast proof. So it's not really an issue after you start building a better base.
Ya i get tired of 9x9's and other block houses they tend to get annoying after while. That being said my starter house is usually a block house while i'm building a much nicer place or a hole in a mountain.
