What is your favorite 3-pin connector - to use in your projects?

I have migrated to different favorites over the years and I like lots of different connectors for different reasons and different applications, but at any given time I could probably always pick a favorite.

I am always looking for better solutions, so please explain why you like a particular connector in the comments.

    Good old fashion terminal boards is my go-to solution, altho with servos and GPIOs, I'm stuck with Dupont connectors,  LiPOs and some sensors have JSTs.

    The terminal boards allow me to reuse boards in several different projects, and are more resistance to me accidentally pulling them out.
