I honestly prefer playing underpowered characters. Characters who are either weak emotionally or physically, and will have to earn some incredible fetes of skill and/or luck just to survive the odds set against them. Part of it is due to the fact that I simply have no idea what to do with myself when I have a character who has reached a certain pinnacle from the very beginning, and another is that I very much prefer trying to REACH that pinnacle over months or even years with a single character. The former is definitely a failing on my part, and something I'm trying to overcome along with a few other nervous ticks when it comes to roleplaying specific characters archetypes.
With that said, however, I don't see anything wrong with playing one over the other so long as everyone is respectful and doesn't overstep the bounds of polite RP etiquette. Everything is a delicate dance when it comes to roleplaying, but once you learn the steps I really don't see why you couldn't play even a character that's almost god-tier so long as you're respectful of others and they in turn you.
