Favorite Sticks?

I had been using Zildjian Travis Barker sig. sticks, but I bought a pair of Vater 2B's last night and have come to the conclusion that these are my "go to" sticks now.
 
I've been playing these for a few months now and really like them:



I prefer lighter sticks and the extra length let me move some drums around for a more ergonomic feel.. The stick grip is a nice bonus, although when your hands are really sweaty, they might rub off a bit initially.
 
I'm a Pro-Mark guy, and my go to size is 5B, although I will use smaller sizes if I want less volume. I also like wrapping my sticks with the Pro-Mark Stick Rapp.

ProMark 5A. Just about the right thickness and weight for me, and they very rarely break.
When I need a nylon tip (which is very rare) I'll use the Portnoy signature sticks.
 
I gave some thinner sticks a try and my hands would hurt after about 30 minutes- an hour. 5b's for me or bust.
