Of the 10 or so available dog bones, which one do you like the best, and why?

Will be interested in the answers.  Seem to be a lot of options even just on sir Rodney's site!

I wonder if any of those who have an opinion have all 10 of the dog bones.

Me neither, but this is the bonio. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonio

Fiero dog bones will probably be on my next round of fettling so interested in any non bonio options.

I have only tried three. The stock, a homemade one, and TFS ultimate. As is no surprise TFS one has been the best.

Rodney Dickman's dog bones are excellent. He even makes an adjustable one (in case the stock length doesn't seem quite right.)
The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.

I have that one installed, right now.

Edit: Actually, I have the adjustable poly dog bone installed.  He also makes an adjustable solid dog bone.

It was on my 84 duke from almost 20 years back now. Came on the car and was welded terribly. So I just bought a stock one from a bone yard back then. Nothing worth seeing even if I had photos of it.

I have now tried all the available dogbones.  The solid metal one is not for me.  All the others are OK, depending on the feel you want.

I like the stock ones, upgraded to poly bushings. 

The Duke unit and V6 are much different in length. 
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Poly on an auto can be rough.

The V6 dogbones are also different in length.
