For me, it's usually a case of not liking a canon couple in the fist place. R/Hr struck me as two people whose main things in common were fighting and Harry. Not a good basis for a relationship.
Within my own fics, I'm pretty shipping-agnostic. I go with what works best with the story I want to tell. Sometimes that means including a ship I don't like. If I need Harry and his wife to show up in one scene, the wife's going to be Ginny because I don't have time to establish a new relationship.
