FATE is my goto game anymore.
However, I hold out soft spots for Dungeon World and 13th Age (dunno if that counts).

Rolemaster/Spacemaster are my preferred systems, but other good ones are Fudge, HARP/HARP Sci-fi, and The Everlasting.

For me D&D (and it's ilk like C&C, etc.) are good "common ground" games. If a group can't figure out what to play or you can't figure out what game to run to get players, D&D will usually fill the bill as most people have either heard of it or played it and are willing to give it a go to be able to play something. And it's fun, too.
However, Savage Worlds is beyond a doubt my favorite RPG by a lot. A lot a lot. I like it's flexibility, yet simplicity. But I'm smart enough to know that it is the granularity/ simplicity of Savage Worlds that really throws some people off, so I'm not a raving, lunatic fanboy about it. It's followed closely by GURPS 4e.
I'm also quite partial to Runequest 2e deluxe boxed edition, but I haven't played it in many years.
My one-shot systems are Dr Who: Adventures in Time and Space and Paranoia.

Rolemaster/Spacemaster is my strongly preferred system.
We've been using it as a full on system since the early 90's.
Previous to that we were using it in conjunction with 2nd Ed D&D.
I've played a lot of systems over the years and I'd have to say my alternates are...
BattleTech and Shadowrun (for the setting pretty much).
Rifts (although there are some problems there with the two damage systems).
If I play D&D I prefer it to be 2nd Ed because, if I'm playing D&D, I want simple and fast.
