For 35mm, and 120, I used to shoot nothing but Verichrome Pan (VP125), and Plus X (PX125). I loved that stuff. In my Minox I used to use Agfa APX25. These days, I haven't found a favorite yet.

Neopan SS for me, gives more grain and contrast, which I like for fast lenses on 35mm. For medium format, however, I prefer Acros to make the most out of the available sharpness.

Since the demise of Plus-X, it's been Tri-X for me, but my wife recently bought me a 100' roll of Orwo UN54 so I'm looking forward to seeing if it gives me what Plus-X used to (or something close to it).
I'll give an honorable mention to FP4+. Very UNlike Plus-X, but a lovely film in its own right.

For low light I most enjoy Delta3200 (exposed at 1600) which often allows hand holding the camera. Other times I use Tri-X (also exposed at 1600) which gets a little contrasty for my taste but is also good.
For bright light my favorite is Plus-X, but I have only five remaining rolls and it's all in 35mm. I've experimented with other films but haven't found a new love just yet.
For all around use I like several, but Delta400 is becoming a favorite.

APX 100 may it RIP. Beyond that it's a toss up between XP2 and FP4.

I voted Delta 100, but I use Pan F 50 in 120. I also like Kentmere 100.
Never really liked Tri-X or Tmax, they seem a bit harsh to me. Ilford films just appear softer and more appealing to my eye.
Very rarely use anything faster than 200, even at night.

I'm really lovng the Rollei films:
RPX 25. Such fine grain, such detail! Not high contrast either, as some other fine grain films used to be.
Rollei IR 400. Just so much fun! It can be loaded in daylight and provides great IR effects even with a simple Cokin 007 (89B) filter.
Low grain and high sharpness, compared to HIE.
Also, works as a very nice B&W film when you remove the IR filter.

My favourite was APX100. Now I've run out of that, I use what's cheapest - currently Kentmere 100 and Arista Edu Ultra 100. All of them developed in Rodinal (I've got plenty of that).

Not enough love for the Tmax 400. I've always had good experiences with it.
