I too think that the straight draws are the most profitable, ESPECIALLY the double belly buster ones. For example, you're holding 68s and the flop is 47T. Flush draws are way too obvious in my book.
To compensate, I like the semi-bluff on the flop with a flush draw and a check on the turn if you actually made it - nut flushes only. You have to push hard with small card flushes as a 4th of the same suit on the river is often times bad news.
The other cards on the board matter too. If your opponent has TPTK for example, he'll be pushing draws off pots with proper betting - if he's good. If you choose to semi-bluff with a raise on either the flop or turn, be prepared to lay it down to a big re-raise.
It also depends on the player too. Are they a weak lead-out post flop? If so, hammer him with a raise.
