I find that 80% of my viewing is with my 17mm ethos giving 179x magnification, when seeing conditions are good i add the 2x powermate giving 358x great for viewing planets at the zenith and great for planetary nebula the ghost of jupiter planetary shows great detail usually not seen at 179x, if seeing conditions are not that great i usually stay at 179x or use 26mm plossl with 2x powermate giving 234x.
The most common magnifications i use in order of use are 179x, 74x, 148x, 234x, 358x, 304x from using a combination of 17mm ethos, 41mm panoptic, 26mm plossl, 20mm plossl, 2x powermate.
