What are your favorite neck profiles?

My sweet spot is a Fender Modern C with a 12" radius and 1-11/16" nut.

I don't like to vary from the nut width, but I can be flexible with the radius as long as it's at least 9.5".

I can get used to most back profiles. My guitars have neck profiles ranging from a Strandberg "EndurNeck" to Warmoth's "standard thin" and several other shapes in between. The one that took the longest to get used to was the soft V shape on my Dean Soltero.
 
Definitely the Super wizard prestige, I also quite like the Wizard II that I have. They just feel so cool in the hand for some reason the way the shoulders are kinda squared. Like it's thin enough to make things easy, but there's something to grab onto. I also really like the ESP Alexi Laiho necks, the Jackson neck profiles (both the standard and the speed neck profile), and I like the Gibson 60's profile, that was definitely ahead of its time. I can't forget the Fender modern C profile, it's not my favorite to actually play on, but it's really nice for long writing or recording sessions as the comfort of Fender necks for long playing sessions is second to none.

I always wanted to tape a piece of very rough sandpaper to my left hand and let it shape the neck while I'm playing.
