Don't really have an all-time favourite. I've voted Lie-Nielsen because my most recent plane is a LN Low-Angle Jack plane and it's very impressive indeed.
Depending on the job, different planes come into favour. I have a slight preference towards my Stanley #4 (UK model). I bought it new a few years ago and I've spent a helluva lot of time converting it from a real dog to a very good tool.

Supa Tool, actually the nail is better quality than the plane.
What happened to Mr Mujinfang which got rated 2nd to LN in a US comparison some time ago.Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.

Ive only used one family of plane in my short life as a wannabe. All have been Veratas species. The standard Block, #4 Smoother and the Scraper. Cant give much of an opinion, other than some brands look much much much nicer than others.
The only other plane I have seen in the flesh is some of the new stanleys. Everything else is the online type.

My opinion is neither copyrighted nor trademarked, and its price is competitive. If you like, I'll trade for one of yours.

hey look, if you exclude the top and bottom choices, the poll is normalised around the Veritas / LV...

I took that advice! As I have posted elsewhere, the #4 Stanley/Bailey has done great service, and I could have gotten away with only it for ever, until a year ago when buying the el-cheapo old #5 made me wonder what else I was missing out on.

I voted for Stanley on account that my 50 year old No4 is all that I have and I find it will plane anything.

But Barry, if you've got an English or US Stanley, that makes you a knob!!
I couldn't vote for my Stanley 'cause its' an OZ one and they aren't anygood (unless you didn't know that!) ....or you put them beside a Veritas!!! :eek:

Well Biting I guess I am a knob by default because when I bought the Stanley planes as an apprentice 50 years ago there wasn't much choice in planes as that was what every one had.
I am only sorry that my No. 7 Stanley, my Stanley spokeshaves and my Stanley hand router disappeared mysteriously other wise I would be probably be called a collector.
I think they were borrowed by someone and never returned.

Well I only wish that Mr White would share some of his pattern making knowledge with us.
Perhaps a few photos on the basics Barry?
