The following are in the order I tend yo use them:
1) I find I use an orange with TMAX most of the time.
2) I sometimes you a very light yellow in low light.
3) I use a yellow-green or green for portraits.
4) I usually use yellow with HP5+
5) I use red for dramatic effects and clouds
6) I use dark red for for even more dramatic effects
7) I use blue to enhance fog
Here is a dark red example with a GW690 and Ilford Pan F
Here is an example with a Nikon FM with Nikkor 55mm f/1.2 and a Blue filter and Efke 25
Here is a portrait with a GW690, HP5+, and a green filter
And here is an example with an TMAX100, an Olympus 35SP, and an orange filter

B+W medium orange. Fantastic with ACROS/LP100. I most often shoot TMY400-2 which is a bit red-shifted anyway, so yellow doesn't make a dramatic difference.

Almost always red. "The redder, the better."

@Divewizard. That first shot is awsome and wouldn't hesitate to print at 24x36 poster size to put up on my wall. You definitely know your filters and film combos. But it makes me miss my GW670III a lot though
Me, I usually have a yellow/med yellow on most of the time; I take it off indoors though (need speed). Other times, green for skin and red for skies.
