I think it's a matter of individual preference. My present T is very interactive; I've told her things that I have never told any other T, so something must be "clicking." Sure, she has boundaries, but they're not rigid. It's cutomary for me to give her a hug at the end of the hour, and I see no problem with it. Other people who need firmer boundaries may be put off by it.
Personally, I wouldn't be comfortable with a the formal analyst type. I worked with one very briefly and felt pathologized more than anything else.
The "right" approach is the one that's working for the person in therapy. =)
