Bit of an old topic, but hopefully I'm okay posting here. With Pokemon, it's both an upside and a downside that there are so many; there's plenty of options to chose from but you can never hit them all. I'm sure the common hits like Charizard, Lucario, Eeveelutions, Lugia, and so on, are safe bets, though.
As for my preferences on file types, from your list, I'd order them like this
1: Physical transformation. My favorite aspect of transformative hypnosis is the transformation itself, so detailed descriptions that capture the feel of actually becoming something different are my top choice. I, personally, find that including mental changes as well only helps reinforce the physical, so I've got no objections to mental alterations during this as well.
2: Toyification. Since this still involves physically becoming something else, and provides a very different experience from being a creature of flesh and blood on top of being a different shape, I enjoy these a lot as well. It's almost a tie, honestly, but the main thing that tips it in favor of being transformed into a living thing is that I find I have MUCH more trouble staying in a tranced/hallucinating state after the file is over if I'm asked to avoid moving at the end of it. But that's more a "me" problem.
3: Encasement. This mostly depends on how some aspects of it are handled. Since, again, I like the act of transforming most of all in these types of things, being told to imagine I'm wearing a suit shaped like another creature, instead of actually being another creature, is kind of a downer. That said, if, once in the suit, the listener is told to start feeling themselves "fill it out" or to feel it like it's their own skin (including control of stuff they may not have as a human, like wings or tails), I can enjoy it a little more.
4: Mental changes only. This one just isn't for me at all.
As for sexual content, I don't think I'd object to it, though I'm generally more comfortable with it when it's anthro/furry Pokemon, rather than more animalistic ones.
For Pokemon I'd like to see myself... Well, Weavile's my favorite overall, but I like just about anything reptilian. Dino-based ones like Aurorus, snakes like Arbok and Serperior, lizards, pretty much any dragon type.
I'd really like to try making some files myself, but inductions have been something I struggle to learn. I'll keep trying though. Maybe one day I can bring my own fantasies out.
