Beyond your favorites is there a yeast that you end up using most often and a hop that you end up using most often?

Kind of a two edged question.. Favorites and then what is used most.

I added the responses to the list in the first post.
 
US05 rocks - my go to yeast, especially in summer when shipping liquid yeast winds up with non-viable yeasts unless I buy overnight shipping. no specific hops though. Seems I use a lot of simcoe, but depends what I'm brewing, usually all kinds of styles.
 
Favorite yeast: US-05
Favorite hop: Galaxy
Most used yeast so far this year: WY2565
Most used bittering hop so far this year: Horizon
Most used flavor/aroma hop so far this year: Galaxy

For whatever reason, I've been using/re-using a lot of 2565 for Kolsch, wheat beers and cream ales this year and loving it. And I've been on a Galaxy kick.

I'll put the simcoe in the hops used side...
 
Actually my go to yeast for IPAs has become Wyeast 1968 and my favorite hops probably are Magnum, Amarillo, Cascade and Goldings.
