Edit: pu'er, black, green, white tea. Love it all and drink it more than I drink coffee. No need to start a culture war; taste is as individual as humour.

Light roasts taste different, not necessarily better, and dark roasts aren't necessarily excessively bitter. And the difference in caffeine due to roasting level is minimal, it is much more affected by type of bean and how it's handled before roasting.
It all comes down to what you want from your coffee...if you want floral and fruity with higher acidity, go for the lighter roasts. If you want chocolate, caramel and nuts with lower acidity, go for the darker roasts. I personally dislike the floral profile of many lighter roasts, it gets a bit "soapy" IMO, which is the same issue I have with most tea.
Dark roast in America almost always equates to a burnt arabica flavor. There can be good dark roasts, but you tend to have to go specialist coffee to get them.
