Me gustaria + Imperfect Subjuntive

How common is this construction?

For example:

Me gustaría que vinieras a mi fiesta.

The party is in the future.

I assume using the present subjunctive is more common - and it depends on the point of view of the speaker (being optimistic: present subjunctive vs. pessimistic: imperfect subjunctive.

Ojalá/Deseo/Quero/Sugiero que vengas a mi fiesta
Ojalá/Deseo/Quero/Sugiero que vinieras a mi fiesta

But how often is Me gustaria or any conditional used with the imperfect subjunctive to talk about the future?

Sería mejor que vinieras a mi fiesta.


Gracias.
