Weird I love a double surgeons for leader to tippet and haven't had any issue strength wise after switching from a blood knot.

Love the simplicity as many times I find myself throwing more tippet on in low light.

For regular fishing generally only tie a few knots

Uni-uni for braid to flouro/mono but switching over more to the Alberto. Trilene knot for flouro/mono to hook or a Palomar (drop shotting).

Like many others, my favorite knot hands down would be the Palomar Knot. It's easy to tie, suitable for both terminal tackle and the drop shot, and works well across different line types. It's even a top 10 knot in terms of knot strength, as per https://www.knotsforfishing.com/knot-strength-chart/

Uni-to-uni for leaders.

Improved clinch knot for teaching beginners.

The least favorite is the dam one that happens when I use one of those bait casters......
