For me? The last one off my wrapper.
My absolute favorite was a Cortland GRF 3wt. Since then, I have fallen in love with my TFO 6' 2wt.

You raise an interesting quesation -- My brother always carried two rods -- the one not being used propped against a tree. For those that do carry two rods how do you carry the second rod?
Another vote for the Orvis Far and Fine. I love this rod.
Small water: haven't found anything to beat the best deal going for small streams- the Cabela's Three Forks 3-wt. rod. It's a three piece rod that sells for a nickel under fifty bucks. I fish it with a 4-wt. DT line. Never failed me, and has a perfect action (for me, of course) up to maybe 40 feet.
Medium water: used to have the Winston 8 1/2 ft. 5-wt, 3-piece rod. Sold it during a difficult time. I'm very good friends now with a TFO Finesse series rod. 8'9" for a 5-wt. line. Very smooth rod.

I generally carry two or three rods with me. When the van is close by I just leave the rod strung and ready under some blankets. When hiking I use a pvc tube with a strap to sling over my shoulder.
My most used rod this last year was my 9', 4wt. Fenwick Iron Feather. Also enjoyed a weekend with a Shapleigh's 9', 6wt. 3/2 bamboo (my first outing with bamboo, but not my last.)
