If we're talking about ARs, I'd rather have telescoping than fixed. Most fixed AR stocks (including the M16A2-style) are a bit too long for me. Also, if you shoot with anyone else who may be bigger/smaller, it's nice to be able to adjust the stock for multiple people.
Folding stocks (top, bottom, left, right) seem necessary unless you have storage issues, and many of them suck to actually shoot (especially AK under-folders). I guess the idea of combination folding/telescoping on the SCAR is pretty clever (as Excalibur suggested), but I'm a little wary of folding stocks on rifles that have polymer construction. Seems like the hinges might be fragile relative to a permanently fixed/telescoping stock.
