So what is everyone's favorite wood for smoke? I know everyone is different and certain woods work better with certain meats, but what do you tend to grab the most?

I love apple and cherry.

I like what tends to be local. So, no mesquite up here. Very little hickory.
I do want to try my hand with some oak.

Apple and oak used the most. Hickory every now and then.

If I only had to use one wood for everything, I would choose Oak.  2nd would be Pecan.    Both are good all around for beef, chicken and pork.

Pecan for pork anything and chicken sometimes, Cherry for cow meat and chicken too. Apple and Cherry for chicken and game hens. I want to try Maple, Peach and Apricot for pig meat and some Red Oak for cow meat.
Go grab a copy of this guy's smoke wood chart Smoking Flavor Chart it has a lot of info in it
