Unsweetened for me. Same for coffee. If your iced tea needs sugar to be palatable then try drinking better tea!
Iced Tea - Sweetened or Unsweetened?

No sugar. If I wanted to drink a glass of brown sugar-water I'd just get a Coke.
lol, I think that's probably the one universal experience for Canadians who take a trip to the US - "The iced tea is literally, just iced tea!!!"
I remember being in Tampa Bay, going to McDonalds, filling up my cup with iced tea, and just being grossed out, oh man, it's just cold tea! I was probably 11 or so.
I don't drink a lot of it, but if I'm going to I think it had better be sweetened.
If I just want plain tea, it needs to be hot.

A couple years ago, I more or less eliminated sugar from my diet. To great effect, by the way.
Unsweetened tea is one of the few things I'll drink aside from water these days. If you get used to it, you won't want sugar again.
When I'm thirsty, I don't want to drink a candy bar. I want something crisp and refreshing. Water and unsweetened tea do that. Sugary tea, sports drinks and sodas taste awful.
It's an acquired taste, like coffee and beer. Once you acquire the taste, you won't want anything else.

I know Art drinks unsweetened ice tea. When he does not I follow his lead! 
Iced Tea is a barbaric invention of the colonialists to subvert the venerated tradition of the truly civilized world!
I rarely drink it. Now, expresso, over shaved ice with a shot of grappa. . . . .

Ditch the ice and you have the very civilized Italian pick-me-up caffe corretto.

For me, iced tea means unsweetened sun tea, so strong you put two inches of it in the bottom of the glass and fill the rest with water and ice. Dad always makes it like that, and I picked up the habit. I even have DH drinking it now, and he was strictly a hot tea man. I've had sweet tea, and I find it far too cloying. But hey, whatever makes one happy.
Life is too short not to drinks SWEET Tea unless you have Med Reason not to. 
Sweet, but most places make it too sweet for my liking. I guess that happens when you live in the South.
Born and reared in the mid-west where iced tea disappeared from October to May when I was young. My mother would brew tea with leaves and always unsweetened. I can't stand sweetened tea. Just some lemon, thank you. I even recently tried some sweet tea to see if my tastes had changed. Poured most of it down the drain.
I like mine sweetened, but not too much sugar! Unsweetened is okay too. I've always struggled to make tea just like mom makes it 
None of the above. I was born with taste buds and enjoy the flavor of unadulterated tea, no sugar required
the exception would be an occasional squeeze of lemon in glass of chilled Earl Grey.
