Ten if you're having a martini

Hendricks is a great gin but it's too 'flavored' for me, it's good in cocktails.

Bombay.. is not good in my opinion.

So far it's my favorite weekly drink
$13 gets you 750 mL

I'll have to try some tanqueray in a martini form some time

Tanqueray and tonic when I drink gin which is rarely.

Cant even choke down Beefeaters or Bombay.

Now let me say Seagrams Extra Dry may be the only gin I really like and I dont like anything made by Seagrams. I dont usually drink cheap booze either but for some reason this one I like.

new amsterdam is very smooth and easy drinking- but it's not very "gin-y" - not much juniper or really much flavor at all compared to many others listed here- not saying that's a bad thing- it's my go-to value gin. Just sayin.

I like Tanqueray Ten if I'm just going to chill and have 2-3 drinks. If I'm getting drunk/want quantity in my freezer I buy Sapphire, but that's not too often.
