For some reason I cut through the Full Tilt HORSE SnG's like a knife through butter winning something like 15 of my first 20. Not played them so much lately (like you, the S and the E are the least appealing rounds and seem to go on for ages - why not H Hold em, O Omaha, R Razz, S Stud and E Omaha Eight or better? )). The way i tended to play them was to push the action all the way, and play loads of hands - you might as well get your money's worth and a lot of the other players are like you - have one or 2 favourite rounds, and shut up shop for the ones they dont like.

On the S round, you can win a nice number of pots uncontested by completing the bet if you are late position and have a showing A or K - i'm sure a lot of opponents will know you're stealing, but if they've got trash there's nothing they can do about it. With other hands, lower your starting hand requirements a notch (as per the other rounds) - 3 cards 10 or above, a high pair, 3 of the same suit. Once your in a hand keep betting it til the end - they'll either fold, have a worse hand than you or beat you, but you'll win more than 50%. Obviously, if it's obvious you're beat then bail out, but I often won hands that went tit's up by pushing them hard until my opponent folded. One thing you shouldn't do is try and be too clever (i.e raising someone with AA showing when you've got nothing - the pots are so large compared to the bets in limit, that no-one will fold to a bluff with a good hand).

On the E round, of course ideally you want a starting hand that plays both ways (i.e could make a winning hi and a winning low), but i usually play these similarly to the S round, by focusing on good high hands. Players will often call with any 3 low cards (or even 2 low cards if low enough) and often fail to make a low at the end.
As i said, i was much more successful when attacking every round than I am at the moment, trying to play more methodical and sensible, so it may work for you too (sadly the players capping the betting with an Ace high straight in Razz seem to have fallen by the wayside ).
