I usually get the firm or extra-firm organic (non-GMO) tofu in order to get more bang for the buck. Firm or extra-firm tofu contains more proteins, more calcium and less water. You do not want to pay the extra cents for water in tofu, unless you want to achieve silky velvet texture in a dish such as Nagaimo (Mountain Yam) Tofu Soup, Savory Tofu Pudding, Soy-Milk Steamed Tofu.
Firm or extra-firm tofu is also better for pan-frying and roasting, as pan-frying/roasting imparts some smoky toasty flavors to the tofu e.g. Baked Tofu. Pan-fried or roasted tofu is then such a good combination in any vegetable stir-fry.
