I'm increasingly cynical as I get older and as a result, tend to find voting for the biggies a waste of time and generally use my vote as a protest and vote for a minimal party like the Greens or something.
I suppose at the simplest level, I have vague memories of childhood under the conservatives and life being a struggle, then being under Labour and life being a bit easier (only for the economy to go tits up) and then this essentially Conservative government failing to fix it in any meaningful way, although I appreciate the quite hard-line they are taking on benefit cheats and so on.
Colour me undecided I guess, but I have no faith in Labour being able to 'fix' the economy since they're the pillocks who buggered it up in the first place (I know, I know, worldwide problem in all reality, but the Germans aren't doing so bad).
I guess (being a cynic), a lot of people will remember erroneously that life was pretty good under Labour (like using all your pension fund in the first two years to have a whale of a time, and fuck the consequences for the remaining 10+ years of your life), and is kinda crappy under Conservative rule and Labour will likely gain a lot of ground because of this.
I should answer your question really, instead of rambling this way and that...
I generally vote the same in local and general elections, and of late have voted for minority parties as a protest as I have no faith in the biggies. I always vote for the party as opposed to the individual.
