Big fan of SU's classic ink here. If most of your stamps are clear, though, avoid Ancient Page and Memories...I've never had good luck with them and clear stamps. I'm looking at Memento myself. M's had four packs of the dew drops on sale for 25% off this week and I almost caved. I'm interested in seeing other people's advice on this, too!
well, for dye ink, I've got Vivid. I can't say I've used just them a lot recently, as I tend to go through "spurts" and use a certain type of ink for awhile. It really depends on the technique I'm doing, I guess. I do really like those Vivid colors (have the little pads and quite a few). Just a tip if you get them...they are so juicy that you don't need to store them upside down.
I like the Stampin' Up! Classic Inks they are dye based inks. I do an ink club, it is a very popular one. It is a great way to get all 48 regular ink pads at an affordable monthly cost. Let me know if you want any more info I have one starting this month! Plus one of the months you get some free goodies!!
Honestly my two favorites are Distress Inks and Memento. DI doesn't do as well with clear stamps in my experience, but it great for DTP and rubber. Memento seems to work really well with clear stamps (and rubber) but doesn't do as well for DTP or other techniques that I'd use DI for - like watercoloring.

What kind of ink pads do you use?
