I remember there were some issues when we were doing the best of the decade list with people voting for personal favorites over the very best. If it won't affect anything, i'll just leave it

I think most of us have personal favorites that maybe favs largely for reasons other than an overall film excellence. But I think most all of the time everyone's favorites are also the very best films.

The other project, to me at least, was an opportunity for horror fans to use their appreciation and expertise to put together a practically canonized list of the greatest horror movies of all time. For this project, however, at least the way I'm approaching it, our collective expertise doesn't necessarily make us the authority on the greatest movies of all time. That's not to say we couldn't do it, but my suspicion is it will be a bit weighted towards sci-fi, fantasy and action. Something tells me The Sound of Music won't be in the top 20. So I'm approaching this one much more lightly, and probably won't intensely debate any of the choices. (Hopefully that's not the opposite of what V's intent was!)

I think you're right, knowing this group, especially from the Top Horror Films from Each Decade selection process, we could tilt towards Sci-fi, Fantasy and Action, as compared to AFI, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. And knowing this group, with 15 critics electing the list, making it highly valid, current 2013, and well represented.
