How do you resolve the speculative vs realist fiction dilemma in your head? For writing purposes, that is.

To elaborate a bit further, all of the narrative stories that I've grown up with are largely not realistic. Moviewise it's the Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Dune, even Pokemon which I find engaging, these kind of Hero's Journey fantasy novels. But in terms of reading I have only ever enjoyed realist fiction like Dostoy, Dickens, Hemingway, Hugo etc. How do you work out which one of these is best to write? I have written bits of both but don't know how to choose one to focus on.
bump?
