I'm of the (rather extreme, I guess) opinion that every fanfic that is not a direct transcript of canon scenes (and so, 99% of all fics and 110% of non-boring fics) is an AU, so I don't see the point in thinking of one kind of AU as better than another simply because it is ~closer~ to the source material. I'd much rather read a good fic written by someone who understands the ship so well they can have fun exploring it in different contexts than a fic by someone who is so uncreative they can't diverge from what's "on the screen".

I mean, do I prefer canon-inspired AUs to, say, high schools and coffee shops? Yes, I do. But I've still read high school and coffee shop AUs that show much greater care and appreciation for and insight into the characters than canon-compliant fics.
