Classical time controls

Hey everybody I would like to ask you guys what your favourite classical time control is! And remember only CLASSICAL TIME CONTROLS after every page I will count the votes! ;)
What do you mean by "classical"? Actual classical i.e. OTB games or "internet classical" i.e. anything higher than blitz?

My favorite OTB time control is 4545 Fischer. It's significantly faster than the usual 9030 but the high increment (45) makes it so that with decent time management you'll never be in serious time trouble.

Over the internet I hardly ever play anything above 5, so I'm not really qualified to answer.
