It all depends what beverage of choice they're being dunked in.

TEA:

It really is crucial what blend of tea, whether you have milk, whether it's green tea or a herbal etc.

HOT CHOCOLATE:

How much milk, is it real with cream or is it tinned powder and so on and so forth.

COFFEE:

What bean(s), what extraction time, what are you making, sugar? milk?

COGNAC:

Biscuits and cognac.... we won't go there.
---------------------------------------
On the whole though:

CUSTARD CREAMS - either but if dry want a drink afterwards
BORBONS - prefereably dunked
HOBNOBS - not dunked, if they're the 'lite' variety bin them
CHOCOLATE HOBNOBS - either but same situation as custard creams
MILK CHOCOLATE DIGESTIVES - normally don't dunk these
PLAIN CDs - dunk and suck or more normally no dunk then bite half off, and place half in mouth to cut off the chocolate in one bite (a god given talent) then eat with the rest!!
DIGESTIVES - dunk, dunk, dunk
RICH TEA - dunked
SHORTBREAD - verging on cakes here but totally dependant on the shortbread
PENGUINS - either (just get rid of the jokes, they seem to have three they permamently repeat)
FINGERS - not dunked
DUCHY ORIGINALS (ANY VARIETY) - not dunked

I'm getting bored now so won't continue! I'm off for a biscuit and cognac now

I don't like to dunk my biscuits, i like to taste them properly plus i always make a mess with dunked biscuits so i'm better off avoiding the practice

Can't go wrong with a Jammy Dodger with your cup of tea i'm a bit partial to Jaffa cakes
( hmm biscuit or cake? ) too, but on their own, they are too soft to messing about with tea i'm best kept away from Chocolate digestives and chocolate hobnobs, can't stop eating them once iv'e started

Jaffa cakes is cakes.. (it's the cakey bit on top that gives it away.. oh.. and the name )

They're baked in an oven... it's a cake for me

There was a bit of "hoo-haa" from the EU about the status of jaffa's due to VAT and whatnot.

Anyway - I've been out testing more biscuits and heres the report back

Miniland triple chocolate and fudge cookies - both sublime when dunked in coffee.
Tesco Value cookies - Good, not as sweet or as full of chocolate or fudge but nice texture.
Tesco penguin clones - Okay, again no taste blast to report home about really, but after 6 you'll start feeling a bit full
Tesco chocolate fingers - oooh dear, I must have dunked these for more than the 0.9ns limit. Each time they fell into the coffee and swam on the top until I tried to catch the little blighters. Suffice to say, coffee in a cup with chocolate down the sides and soggy wafer at the bottom of the cup is an aquired taste

I do love to dunk my biscuits in a cuppa char

Got to be dark chocolate hob-nobs for me, they absorb so much - even if bits do fall into the drink. Your basic digestive or rich tea works too..but not quite as well.

When it comes to the creamier biscuits, can't beat a custard cream for dipping..and I don't even mind if bits fall off. As mentioned it's an aquired taste but it can make your drink taste nicer..honest.
