Simply the side kick either standing or step behind, for tournament sparring the front kick or turning back kick.

The front thrusting kick. Excellent kick for making space.
For sparring - front snap kick and short line turning kicks in rapid succession.

All flavors of side kicks serve me well 
Side kick, hook kick, spinning side/back kick, and if everything is not going my way......axe kick.
My axe kick was honed back in the day for the purpose of getting myself out of trouble. Thank you, Andy Hug.

anything that lands!
I actually like twist kicks. For when you lead with the wrong leg and a round would get you a strike but the target is too sideways to hit with a front.
Leg checks are sweet, too.

Perhaps not really a kick, but a leg maneuver where you enter into your opponent's personal sphere after having compromised his structure in some way, perhaps with a strike or a tug. The leg maneuver is used to further compromise his balance ending in a take down or an outright sweep.
I'm also a fan of the leg kick, as few people expect it.

roundhouse. it works in any striking range, & can be applied to any target. side kick is close favorite for the same reasons, but i've never been able to hit the head with it consistently. also, the roundhouse flows in my combinations better.

Round house for sure, I have used it a lot with pretty good success. Spinning hook kick is the next favourite but it's really difficult move. I had a friend who used to knock his opponents with his spinning hook kick.

Side kick and turning side kick, the back kick too. The combo I use in sparring is roundhouse kick followed by a turning back kick.

With bag work I like the turning side kick, in sparring I like the turning side kick as a good defensive weapon if an opponent is charging. To initiate a good combo I like stepping front leg axe kick, it tends to confuse an opponent leaving them open for more combo's. Front leg side kick I use a lot as well in sparring, it's like a jab in boxing, and I also like continuous jumping turning kicks, one after another

Side kick for me.
I go along with Jarrod on this one. The roundhouse kick was my favorite by far, and it would lead into so many other kicks. Bread and butter technique was high roundhouse to the head with a spinning back kick to the body, worked like a charm.

My favorite kick is the snap kick and and for sparring i like to do the spinning back kick cuz it catches them off guard and its powerful.
All manner of side kicks, for me.

Same here. I like side kicks and use them a lot, but one of my favourite kicks is the hook kick, but it doesn't get used as often as side or turning kicks.

Side kick is my favorite, but duit chagui is also very good in my opinion.
