Current favourite is my Custom LV #5 with a 55 degree frog, since I’m working on dastardly tear-out prone woods for my latest project.
Agree with so many others, my shooting plane gets used A LOT!
Young enough to remember doing it;
Old enough to wish I could do it again.

Favourite plane has three categories in my shop. The most used workhorse, the most fun to use and the one that does what no other plane can do.
My Clifton 5&1/2 is the most used, my old wooden plane converted to a scrub is pure fun, my LV large shoulder plane is a gem.
You can do a lot with very little! You can do a little more with a lot!

Most used is my DX60. Very comfortable and weighty in the hand gives me alot of control

I'd have to choose a category; my Veritas bevel up planes. My most used plane as a carpenter was a Stanley 60 1/2. so I naturally gravitated to the bevel up planes as they always made complete sense to me. Still do.

Keep saying...it is the one in use at the moment...

In this case..it would be the Van Camp No. 4

Not my most used, but does get used on every project- a Tsunesaburo chamfer plane. This makes repeatable perfect chamfers, which I have grown to use a lot in my work. Blade is good steel (Blue #1 I think, sharpens nicely on oil stones) and it has a chipbreaker so it can deal with reversing grain. Depth of cut is set by tapping the blade like any other wooden plane, and width of chamfer is set with the thumbwheels and wing nuts. You can even shift the plane body side to side within the main body to use a different area of the edge.
