Driver: Star TL 169gr
Upshot disc: Champ Leopard 160gr
Putt: Pro D Magnet 169gr (Soft Magnet in winter)
Sidenote: Ive really enjoyed seeing each players post. I think players with similar throwing styles and approach to the game have some of the very similar choices.

It's a tough call, since I'm one of those over-dependent 16-disc guys. I can't live without all of 'em!

i just looked at my answer from 2 months ago on this thread and my opinion has completely changed... interesting. I first said, XL, Optimizer, Soft Magnet. One would stay the soft magnet, still a great putter but I would bring a 150gram beast and a classic roc.
1) 1st Run 175g SOLS - most versatile distance driver I've ever used. The 1st runs are the most stable run, so it's good for everything except a strong headwind. Currently use this disc for a lot of long, straight drives, anhyzers, and rollers. Can easily be "dialed down" for shorter skip shots too. Star Orc is my go-to distance driver, but if I could only pick one it'd be this one.
2) 176g Ching Roc - I've got 4-5 of these in the bag at any given time. I'd probably go with a lightly used one if I could only have one mid-range disc. After a month or two of use, the Ching (aka-"Flat top") Roc loses a bit of it's high-speed stability and can hit all kinds of lines.
3) 175g 11x KC Pro Aviar - My go-to putter and approach disc. I use it almost exclusively on shots within 200' and it's good on all lines. I've got several that have been in and out of my bag over the past 2 years, and after a while the flight plate starts to droop a little giving it what is almost like a thumb-track (like on the Banger GT)...excellent-feeling plastic too.

I usually carry 3 discs on my home course anyway... they are:
Soft Magnet -- sticks landings, drops dead when it hits trees instead of ricocheting 40 yards into deep woods.
Star Shark -- control and accuracy. Can step in as a putter in brisk headwinds. Can be thrown off the tee for a soft fade.
Pro Leopard -- Drives, annies, and emergency recovery from when trees jump in front of my drive.

No question for me my driver would be a 167g Champion Beast. My putter would be a 171g Elite X Soft APX. Probably would go with my 175g Champion Coyote over my Star Skeeter or DX Roc.

depends on the course, but if I had to pick three discs for ANY course, it would be:
167g Star Destroyer (pretty fresh)
175g Star Firebird (slightly beat)
175g medium-stiff Wizard (well worn)
However, if I had to go with two discs, I'd trade out the Destroyer/Firebird for a lightly used 170s Champion Teebird, and keep the Wizard in there.
For me, with the three disc thing, I throw both FH and BH pretty equally (slight preference to FH), so I don't need something neutral any farther out than a Wizard (which will go great up to ~250', or up to 350' with some downhill elevation). the firebird is perfect for skip shots, hammers, FH rollers, hyzers, etc... The destroyer is worth having just for the advantage you can get on a lot of holes with a max-D shot, and is great for big, sweeping anhyzers as well as big-sweeping hyzers.
I'm thinking back on recent tournaments, and these were the three discs I used most often. Destroyer left my hand on long teeboxes; Firebird on shorter tees or roller shots, and most of my upshots were with firebirds or wizards.
