Now this will be interesting since I myself have to choose specifically between a kick boat and a smallish rubber duck, eagerly awaiting some responses!
When fishing still waters for trout specifically, who uses a float tube or kick boat, and who uses a drift boat, and why.....whats best, more difficult, challenging...etc.etc.

I use a V-boat, easy to control, easy to pack and you stay drier/warmer than a u-tube. I think a pontoon boat would be great but not as easy to pack.
I'm not a fan of a drift boat - I don't find them comfortable at all especially for a long session.

If you are talking about stillwater trout fishing then I far prefer a tube to a boat. If you are fishing competitively then it would seem you need to get used to fishing a boat.

Interesting,
I have never drifted whilst fishing. I understand the logic behind the direction of craft aspect, iro positioning, ito casting into the preferred lie.
Would anchoring in an Arc, and then casting not be the same?
I do realise that an infatable is not nearly as manouverable (sP) as a float tube, but there again I get to the target area a damn sight quicker.
