i'd say it varies from game to game for me. when you are in a game that has been run and gun the entire time, then you suddenly encounter an enemy / obstacle that you cannot defeat and must sneak by (with poor mechanics since the game wasn't designed for that), those missions are very annoying.
on that same vein though, escort missions, especically those with poor NPC AI where they either walk at 2MPH or sprint head long into enemies in some poor attempt to create tension, also tend to annoy me.
in other words, i enjoy the sneaking and escort missions provided the game has been develeoped well enough to have them incorporated properly.

You know what's really the worst? Escort missions when you have a stealthy play-style...and the person you're escorting doesn't.
Escort missions: I hate keeping people alive so much...90% of the time the person you're escorting is an idiot with brittle-bone syndrome and an odd magnetic field which attracts bullets.
Esc' missions for sure.
They usually have an ok health bar but whoever is shooting/ramming swords up our bum are in large numbers and whilst you are fighting off 4/5 of them it only takes one stray to kill the helpless git.
What annoys me even more is when you can do damage to them too, especially in games with swords.
Not being able to heal them is an ass. Realistically if I had a potion (fck off potions are real in this sentence) then I would give it to the half dead person next to me especially if they were paying me...but nooooooo I guess the clasp on my rucksack got caught or something. BAH.

Escorts, hands down. The escorted always either tries to fight and gets mauled, or the game sends a horde of enemies that completely ignore you, and only attack your ally/escorted person, rather than attacking you, the dangerous one (ES IV: OBLIVION!!)
Escort missions, without a doubt. Forced stealth missions are annoying, but at least you have total control over yourself and everything that relates to you. Escort missions suck because the AI that's following you is out of your control and usually really stupid. And if they die, you die.
Escort mission unless the person you're escorting can shoot and then it becomes more tolerable. I usually don't mind stealth missions so long as it's down to skill and not luck.
Escort missions should get extinct or something or better yet someone should go back in time and kill the person who started that bullshit in the first place.
Escort missions. I don't mind stealth, as I'm a sneaky bastard that hates a fair fight, so I'll try to sneak up on enemies anyway. Escort missions, though...
I believe Bartimaeus said it best: "Runnig for your life is all well and good, but at least do it in the right direction!"

Both can be terrible if done badly but if I have to pick one then it's forced stealth they usually go totally against the rest of the game
