I too have the hand crank kind, and to answer a question that was asked here, it is very easy to turn the handle.

 

Truth be told, I prefer dried pasta because I like it al dente.  However, there are certain dishes where fresh pasta is preferred, but I do feel dried pasta has more flavor (unless of course you are making a flavored pasta such as basil, black pepper, tomato, etc.)  

 

And for what it's worth, I don't care for whole wheat pasta, chick pea pasta, gluten free pasta, and any other pasta that's supposed to be healthier.
