If you have a perfect utopua in which nothing bad ever happens, then I don't think that you can have an effective story. I was tempted to go for the "in between" option in the poll, but decided that that would be a bit of a cop-out and chose the dystopia option. Many of the most effective SF novels have been about the overthrowing of a dystopia. One that comes immediately to mind is Dune.
