[Recommend] Best Discs for Each Slot from Each Brand

I know there's been threads about the best single discs for each brand out there. But, I want to expand the discussion to the best discs for each slot from each brand.

My more extensive experience with different brands has been limited to mainly Innova and Discraft, and to a lesser extent I've thrown a couple discs from a few other manufacturers (Discmania, MVP, DD, Lat64, etc.), of which I ended up bagging a high percentage of the ones I did try from Discmania and MVP.

That said, I'm wondering what I'm missing out on and am always interested in testing out discs, because it's fun and you never know when you might just click with a mold you haven't tried before. Off the top of my head, I've never thrown any Legacy, Prodigy, Prodiscus, Westside, or Millenium (with the exception of the Omega SS), and I'm sure there's more.

I'm pretty brand agnostic, and have no loyalty to any mold I throw, outside of the FD. I'm pretty green and could use input from people with a lot more experience on discs that should be tried from each brand...

For example:
Innova
-Distance: Destroyer
-Fairway: Leopard
-Mid: Roc
-Putter: Aviar
 
Innova
Distance: Destroyer
Fairway: TeeBird
Mid: Roc
Putter: BB Aviar

Discraft
Distance: Nuke
Fairway: XL
Mid: Buzzz
Putter: Zone

Legacy
Distance: Cannon
Fairway: Patriot
Mid: Ghost
Putter: Clozer

Lat
Distance: ???
Fairway: River
Mid: ???
Putter: Pure

Discmania
Distance: ???
Fairway: PD
Mid: MD2
Putter: P2
 
Innova
Distance: Destroyer
Fairway: TeeBird
Mid: Roc
Putter: BB Aviar

Discraft
Distance: Nuke
Fairway: XL
Mid: Buzzz
Putter: Zone

Legacy
Distance: Cannon
Fairway: Patriot
Mid: Ghost
Putter: Clozer

Lat
Distance: ???
Fairway: River
Mid: ???
Putter: Pure

Discmania
Distance: ???
Fairway: PD
Mid: MD2
Putter: P2

For Discmania Distance I'd say definitely the PD2. Great disc. Mace and Villian would be my personal choices for your empty Lat slots. Everything else is about how I'd have it (maybe rival instead of patriot for legacy though)
 
Innova
Distance: Destroyer
Fairway: TeeBird
Mid: Roc
Putter: BB Aviar

Discraft
Distance: Nuke
Fairway: tracker
Mid: Buzzz
Putter: challenger

Legacy
Distance: rampage
Fairway: rival
Mid: Ghost
Putter: Clozer

Lat
Distance: Villian
Fairway: saint pro
Mid: mace
Putter: Pure

Discmania
Distance: PD2
Fairway: PD
Mid: MD2
Putter: P2

Westside:
Driver: Giant
Fairway: Stag
Mid Warship
Putter: Harp
 
I don't really throw distance drivers, so I don't' really have an opinion on those, but here goes:

MVP:
Distance: Volt for now, TBD with the release of the longer distance drivers
Fairway: Resistor
Mid: Axis
Putter: Anode

Innova:
Distance: Dont' throw
Fairway: Eagle
Mid: Mako
Putter: JK Aviar

Discraft:
Distance: Don't throw
Fairway: Avenger SS
Mid: Comet
Putter: ?

Vibram:
Distace: Don't throw
Fairway: Ascent
Mid: Obex
Putter: VP
 
I mostly throw Innova, MVP and Westside, so I'll throw down with those bad boys. Others may disagree, but I will say these are what work best for an Intermediate-level player (such as myself) who has a good grasp of the game and technique, but maybe doesn't have the natural skill levels.

Innova
Distance Driver: Wraith
Fairway: Teebird
Mid: Roc3
Putter: Big Bead Aviar

MVP
Distance (currently released): Volt
Fairway: Servo
Mid: Proton Vector
Putter: Soft Ion

Westside:
Driver: Giant (mad OS, but I don't care for any of their other drivers, honestly)
Fairway: Stag
Mid: Warship
Putter: Swan 2
 
I'll give this a shot. Innova is just obvious. I mean, almost every high level Innova player throws the same lineup with a few variations in plastic and maybe an exception here and there.

Innova
Distance: Destroyer
Fairway: TeeBird
Mid: Roc (pick a mold, there are several)
Putter: Aviar

Other brands are more of a challenge. For example, I bag a Prodigy D4 as my go-to understable distance driver. I used to bag D1's but I'm currently bagging G* Destroyers for more stable distance. And lots of people bag D2's and D3's, so I don't think there's a lot of concensus there. Same could be said for fairways, mids, and putters really. People like different molds and there's not really particular ones that everyone uses. Here are my favorites:

Prodigy
Distance: D4
Fairway: F2
Mid: M2
Putter: PA4

I also bag (and have bagged) some Discraft. Once again, I would bag Cranks for the understable distance slot and Nukes for stable distance if I were a Discraft-only player, but I must pick just one for this.

Discraft
Distance: Crank
Fairway: Predator
Mid: Buzzz
Putter: Challenger

I've thrown lots of other brands here and there, but not enough of their lineups to give an opinion on the go-to discs for each slot.
 
DD
Distance: Trespass
Fairway: Escape
Mid: Truth
Putter: Judge

Latitude
Distance: Halo
Fairway: Saint
Mid: Mace
Putter: Pure

DGA
Distance: Hurricane
Fairway: Undertow
Mid: Squall
Putter: Breaker

Westside
Distance: Sword
Fairway: Stag
Mid: Warship
Putter: Swan

Legacy
Distance: Cannon
Fairway: Rival
Mid: Ghost
Putter: Clutch
