It's your personal preference. I assume the parties are trying to find out who supports them, but in your case you're not sure which party to side with. You could say you were a democrat and then vote republican...no one can stop you from doing that.

In Maryland, we have seperate primaries for Dems and Repubs. You have to declare a party when you register in order to participate in the primary. If you are registered independent you cannot participate in the primary. During the generl election, you can vote for any candidate regardless of your registered party. I beleive there are other states that do it this way as well.
