"in" a good or bad sense is correct. 

"Which one do I use?" 

Your example is correct, you just need to add "a" after "in."

In a good or bad sense?

I think this can help you understand the differences of each prepositions: http://www.talkenglish.com/grammar/prepositions-on-at-in.aspx

Also, try to check the word after the preposition. If there is a common noun following the preposition, add the letter "a."

Example:

I slept in a blue car. ("blue car" is a common noun so add the letter "a." Don't be confused with the adjectives.)

Summer starts in June. (June is a proper noun. You don't need to put the letter "a" after the preposition.
