Asking folks what media they use is akin to asking "What should my favorite ice cream flavor be?".
The choice of potting media - even a "standard" one you can modify for different plants - depends a great deal on the growing conditions you can provide, and that is likely to be different from what others can provide. Add to that your individual watering habits and pot preference, and the variables increase.
Analyze your conditions - temperature, humidity, light levels, air movement - and consider how they will affect the evaporation of water from the medium. Then add in how much you like to "mess with" your plants, as that's usually a good indication of watering frequency you'll be comfortable with.
Next, understand how various
potting media absorb, hold. and release water, and consider how the choice of particle size and the
type of pot you will use affect that evaporation rate. Put those together, and you can come up with a "happy medium" (no pun intended) that will be good for a wide range of plants, possibly with a little here-and-there modifications.
