First of all, I have the electric go, bought after I hand cranked a double sized grandmothers hexagon quilt, Never again. I'm a scrappy quilter, so my #1 die is the 2.5" multiple square cutter the most. But I use all the multiple squares and multiple triangles. Anything I trade or swap is accuquilt cut, like a multiple 5" die. When they run a BOGO i buy more. I have most of the piecing and strip dies. I love mine.
