SN1 and SN2 are sort of opposite to each other when it comes to favorable reactants.

SN1: Likes tertiary alkyl halides>Secondary>dislikes primary (almost none reactive)
depends on the concentration of the reactant only

SN2: Likes primary alkyl halides?secondary>dislikes tertiary (too much blockage)
depends on basicity of leaving group, weaker base leaves better and also nucleophilic group, stronger bases better nucleophiles.
