When I was much younger, I always picked the Grass starter. But after some years, I pretty much abandoned them because I ended up liking both Fire/Water starters much more for each gen and I started building my team in order to hit a maximum of types for SE damage. I always thought that Grass was just completely outclassed by Water in this regard, because both hit Rock/Ground for SE but Water is just so much better overall and I always need a Water mon just for Surf. And for hitting Water for SE I always went with Electric. Yes, Water/Ground mons are annoying but a TM can handle them.
Nowadays, the only grass starter I use is Bulbasaur because Gen 1...is Gen 1.
