Ghost,
I use more Mustad hooks than anything, but I also use some Dai-Riki and some Tiemco hooks. I use mostly Mustads and Dai-Rikis for dries, nymphs and streamers, but I like the TMC scud hooks.

GG,
I use a lot of Mustads for dries, Daiichi for North Country Spiders, Mustad for most wets.

I use lots of Mustads for most stuff..Tiemcos for the smaller stuff though, and I like their fine wire hooks for drys. I have a few special ones of the other more expensive brands, but I don't think they're realy worth the price. ............................Dan
I tie mostly nymphs, wets, and scuds, I use some foam flies for bass and crappie. Just gettin into litttle drys for this summer
Lots of Mustad for most trout flies, but when things get serious and big fish are at stake the Gamakatsus come out...

Tiemco mainly as they are the only ones available in my area with a wide arrangement of sizes and types. Recently I have been getting back into Mustad. I wish more of my local shops carried a larger assortment.
Mostly Mustad.

For trout. Mostly Tiemco. The 101 for most nymphs and some dries. The 2488 for the rest.
Daiichi.
After tying on the mustad, tiemco and dai riki, I found Daiichi hooks to be the most consistent in quality and strength.
Dai-Riki, almost exclusively, except for the few miscellaneous hooks I bought for a particular fly. All kinds and sizes of dry, emerger / cripple, wet, nymph and streamer flies.
