What do you view as the best liquid culture medium?

There hasn't been a thread on the most effective liquid culture medium for a few years in the cultivation forum, so I thought I'd pose this question for all the old hands:
What do you think is the most effective medium for liquid culture formation? Why have you made this choice?
I've been growing for a few years off and on, but I'm just now beginning professionalize my setup, so any information would be greatly appreciated by me, and I'm sure the rest of the forum. I'll post my personal results with liquid cultures when I get back from work.
Thanks everyone!

I voted honey as it's the only thing I've used. I'm upgrading to Malt/Dextrose very soon.

I've been using karo so far to... average results 
but I'm picking up some malt/dextrose this weekend and making some syringe filter lids so I'm going to have to hold off voting until that gets going

currently I combine dextrose, turbinado, karo and light dry malt.
kind of like giving a more diverse and balanced diet instead of just the same old thing all the time.
works like a charm every time.

is it that you have become bored with using the same medium of one of those you mention,or have you found a certain combination of them to be best? "the same old thing" wouldn't apply to a MS or cloning attempt to a LC medium as they wouldn't have encountered any medium before... they will grow in it,if they will grow in it.  i have found this stuff to be enough on it's own->
 it's a UK thing
