I have tested about 15 custom and a bunch of production cues. My favorite customs are my Kikel, a Lambros ultra joint that a friend recently bought, an ebony nosed Bender and a Chester Krick with old growth shaft. If i put aside the Kikel i own, any of the other 3 could easily be my every day player. As for production cues i would go for a Predator Black but the early ones made by/with Mezz.
