I see in the poll that eyebeams now lead. 'Bout time. Even the word "eyebeams" looks cooler than "handbeams" (sounds almost like "hand creams"😉.
Also, I've noticed that, generally speaking, DC seems to prefer eyebeams (probably because of Superman), while Marvel appears to prefer more handbeams (probably as a reaction to DC).
Too bad a third option wasn't presented, where you suddenly manifest energy at a given location with a mere thought. But I guess this would shut down both eye- and hand-beams lickity-split.

Seriously though each have their strengths.Hmm.
Eyes Beams:
Better accuracy
Quicker draw
Harder to blockHand Beams:
Shoot in multiple directions
Can be used to charge fists
Bigger Beams=more area DamageI would go with the eyes beams myself and become an assassin.
Bigger beams can be made with eye beams also. Cyke, Supes, and MM has shown this.

Blackbolt blasts from the mouth, sort of.
Neji (from Naruto) can relese energy from all over his body simultaneously.
Goku (from DBZ) once performed an energy blast with his feet.
