Have tried many. Alternate now depending on trip.

Stoves without good flame control are less versatile. Some foods burn or scorch easily with these stoves.

The Dragonfly has good flame control.

It's loud but you can buy or make silencers.

Multifuel stoves are nice for some trips. The option of using gasoline can be good to have. After I started using a light-weight siphon system, my happiness or satisfaction level with these multi-fuel stoves went up several notches (and it was already high). May start a thread in case others would be interested in some of the details of how and why.

The canister stove I use is the hose-to-MSR-bottle type -- more stable than burner-over-canister types. And much better for windscreen use.

Canister stoves are clean, easy to light (esp. those with piezo ignition), require no priming or waiting, often have good or excellent flame control, and many people love them. Others don't care for the canister availability issues in some areas and countries, among other things.

They are the simplest to use.

Alcohol stoves are just too slow and weak for the types of cooking I do.

Sometimes I go stoveless but take a light titanium pot. Then I use it as a bowl, and occasionally cook something in it, over an improvised twig-fire hearth or mini-trench. Weighs nothing but still allows you to cook once in a while.
