What are your guys' favorite stock mechs to use? I am asking for each of the weight classes, IS and Clan. Just a little curiousity inspired by the recent poll. Thanks.

Well, I don't play Clan, so I have no opinion there. Actually, when I use stocks, I almost invariably stick to 3025, so that's the only time I actually have "favourites"
Let's see...my faves as of 3025...
Light: Jenner
Medium: Phoenix Hawk
Heavy: Thunderbolt
Assault: Stalker

I don't play much clan unless it's against them so:
Light: Jenner, Locust
Medium: Phawk or Griffin
Heavy: Marauder, Warhammer, Archer, or Axman
Assault: Battlemaster, Stalker or maybe an Atlas
I don't really have *a* favorite mech, either overall of from a particular weight class.

Don't mind the Oscout. The others are still not as bad as, say, the Viper (aka the Popeye-arm, chicken-legged, 100 ton airplane)

I really like the Highlander, Wolverine, Marauder, Archer, and Shadow Hawk for Inner Sphere forces. When I play Clan, I like Timber Wolves and Cauldon-Born.
For the Inner Sphere choices, they are just the 'Mechs that have proven reliable for me. I liked the Higlander because of its name. Immortal unless the head gets ripped off, eh?
For the Clan choices, I just like the look of the two 'Mechs. They just seem lethal.
Yea, verily. Let it be known far and wide that Nightward loathes MW: DA. Indeed, it is with the BURNING ANIMUS OF A THOUSAND SUNS that he doth rage against it with.

Thunderbolt, Warhammer-D (and R, really), and Jav-F. Personal fave being perhaps the Jav-F, as its minimaxed *just* the way I like it...

3025 / 3050+ (or rather level 1 / level 2)
Locust / Spector
Trebuchet / Wolverine
Thunderbolt
Battlemaster
I seldom play clans, but:
light - Puma Prime
medium - Stormcrow B
heavy - Thor D
assault - Warhawk C
Advice for Evil Overlords:
My legions of terror will be trained in basic marksmanship. Any who cannot learn to hit a man-sized target at 10 meters will be used for target practice.

Heavy - Warhammer 6k. Runners up Grand Dragon, Thunderbolt 5SS.
Assult - Zeus (PPC version). Runner up : Awsome, Stalker.
Level 2
Light - Wolfhound
Medium - undecided
Heavy - Bandersnatch, runner up Toyama
Assult - undecided.
Clan - none. I hate them all.
