At dark sites for me, it's the 10" dob and 12T4 Nagler. I pretty much leave that EP in for the evening. Saves a lot of hassle fumbling for other EPs. I used to waste a lot of time that way.

But, in town (Phoenix metro area), it's the 10TE 76.2mm f15 with Meade 8-24 zoom. Planets, moon and doubles are easy prey with that combo. [Edit: Oops, well at least doubles are in deep space . . .}
