What is your favorite print vinyl and laminate combination?

Just wondering what everyone's favorite print media and laminate combination is for specific situations or if you just use a carry a coverall combination, specifically for a few instances.

Stickers/decals
Short term signs (corex PVC Pop graphics)
Long term signs (ACM Alum)
Vehicle graphics (non-wrap)
Wall graphics

I can tell you mine is brightline for the short term and stickers, Arlon 4600 and 3220/3420 on long term and flat vehicle graphics and we use mainly 1105 for the wall graphics as we tend to do a lot of wall decals and most have been heavily textured (plus its still great wrap film combination)

Looking forward to seeing what everyone else carries.

Cheap short term signs - Arlon 510 w/ matching laminate

Day to day stuff/ wall graphics - Arlon 4600lx w/ Arlon matching laminate

Decals - either GF 6 mil vinyl or GF 201HTAC depending on the client's needs

Wraps - 3M 180 with matching laminate, only because we don't do many and I can order this by the yard if needed.
