Favorite overall plastics?

Pretty much an Innova guy. Though it dosent last that long, I still enjoy Dx for putters/mids, champ and star for drivers. Although my FLX buzz is awesome, that plastic is tough!
 
I never thought I would like anything better than Opto, but Plasma might be the plastic to do it. We'll see if it gets too soft this summer. I didn't throw any last summer. If it gets too soft, Opto/VIP/Lucid will remain my favorite.
 
Distance Drivers - Star
Control/Fairway Drivers - Champion
Mid- ZFLX
Putters - Sure Grip
 
My favorite plastic is Innova's G-star. Good colors, gorgeous swirls, soft but not floppy, durable but "seasonable".
I like a stiffer plastic for the putter, Prodigy's 750.
For a utility disc, there is nothing remotely as good as a Champ Firebird for me.
 
What plastics have you tried and which are your overall favorites?

Champion, Champion Blizzard, Star, Starlite, Echo Star, KC Pro, R-Pro, DX;
Z, X, Elite?, FLX, Pro-D;
Proton (soft and regular), Neutron, Fission;
Opto, Goldline;
Signature Line;
Lightning's base plastic...Hi-Flex?
And what is it that is used for Instep's discs?

For putt and approach, Signature Line, and then R-Pro are favorites.
For mids and drivers, the best I can say is that I generally prefer Star/Starlite, though it is good to have some Innova in Champ; I haven't used X or FLX all that much yet, but prefer them so far for Discraft, though only marginally so over Z; I definitely prefer Neutron or Fission over Proton (I look forward to trying Plasma); and the seeming virtual indestructability of Opto makes it a hard choice versus Goldline.
 
Pro D for my Challengers
Pro D, Elite X, and Elite Z for my Buzzzes
(Recently switched to 150 discs, getting old haha)
Star for my Teebird
Champion for my Valkyrie
 
The list of plastic I don't like is much smaller. Too many good ones to list them all. I know my new favorite is the classic Judge. Super firm but so grippy at the same time.
