Don't know as I have a favorite brand. A lot depends on what I'm tying. A quick glance reveals I have at least a half dozen different brands, in innumerable sizes and designs.
Overall I'd say Mustad is my #1 choice. But that's because I tie mostly warm water patterns that call for a specific hook. And I like the 34007 because of the ring-eye hook and large sizes.
For Atlantic salmon, on the other hand, Partridge is my overall fave. I've got hooks from other makers, but I don't believe they come up to the Partridge standards.
