Prefered base malt for brewing?

I typically by 50 pound sacks of malt for my brewing so I always have some on hand when I want to brew.  I have a limited selection where I live (Fairbanks, Alaska) and tend to have to get whatever is available (frequently gambrinus or great western 2 row).  I just found a source with a selection of malts that has inexpensive shipping for me and I was wondering what people liked.

I tend to brew a variety of ales ranging from blondes, red ales, IPA’s, Stouts, Belgians, you name it…but I do tend to like malty beers.  This survey has a list of some of the malts I have to choose from and I just wanted to see what people liked :wink:

What is your preference as a base malt?
