Right now I am using Shark Super Chromes, But currently trying out other blades. As it is the holiday season PM me your address if you have not tried them as of yet, Ill send you a pack of them. Otherwise, I would say give a sampler from Westcoastshaving a try
For me, its the Astra-SP ... it works well in every razor I've tried it in, and with this brand, there's no guess work. I always know it will give me a good shave.
I also keep a good supply of Derby on hand, for when I need a gentle shave, and Feathers are reserved exclusively for use in my Sledgehammer Slant, for days when I have 3 or more days of whiskers to harvest.

derby seems to be everyones favorite
Haven't gotten a 100 pack yet but from the sample pack I have my favorites are Astras and Crystals. Probably will get 100 Astras.
I do like the Derbys also.
I am currently using the Shark Super Chromes and like them quite a bit. I have also tried out the blades from my local Family Dollar, and they are OK, but nowhere near as good as the Sharks. Today I tried a CVS branded injector blade in my Schick 500. I did not care for it at all. I don't know if its the actual blade I don't like, or just the injector blade style.
I would like to try some of the Astras and some of the Feathers because those two seem to be the overall favorites of the majority of the people on here.

Red Israeli Personna. $10 from WCS most excellent go to blade. Ditto Sharks.
Red Pack Personna, Derby Extra and Gillette Super Thin 
The Big Three of smoothness and quality.

+1 on the Israeli Reds. They are a real treat. I sent my wife the link and asked for a hundred for Christmas. Crystals and Derbys tore up my neck and nicked the heck out of me.
Red Pack Personna, Derby, Astra SP, and Lord SC
Almost forgot about Greek BICs.

I just received 250 Feathers (I split the pack with a friend). Those along with the 80 or so from my first 100 pack should keep me shaving for a week or two.
I don't think I am even going to bother with trying any other blades anymore.

So far my favorite is Feather, with Shark a close runner up. The Derbies and Red Personnas haven't worked as well for me. Several recommended brands I still want to try, though.
Feathers
Astra SP
Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow
Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow
I've only bought 100-packs of Feathers, but I would buy 100 packs of Feathers, Super Iridiums, Yellow 7 O'clock Gillettes, with Crystals and Astras a second-tier choice. Never went crazy for the Red IPs, but they were okay.
Crystal for My Red Tip, Feather for the 49 Super Speed, and Super Iridium In the Merkur HD. That is the front line rotation as of now.
