Depends on how much I want to try. Solar eclipses aren't that hard for me now, the broken hero swords never mattered to me (last sword I cared for was the Starfury pre-hardmode, though I did end up making a terra blade just for kicks), but they're fun for wiping out massive swaths of enemies and necessary for picking up extra Death Sickles and such.

Pumpkin moons by contrast have amazing drops, but require significant effort to conquer successfully. They're by far the hardest (and most fun) thing in the game, but I wouldn't want to run too many in a row, and there's no ending one by going underground. It's a commitment, and sometimes I just don't feel like it.

Blood moons don't even qualify. I don't really even notice when they hit anymore.
