What are your favorite type of lentils, what do you use them in, why are they preferred for that dish than others?

I recently realized I have only had maybe 1 or two types, and upon searching them found they all supposedly taste different and have different textures.

Wherher it is for cheap decent soup or an old family recipe; slap me with some knowledge

    I made a simple curry today which was mainly dried red lentils, with spinach, peas, carrot, and onion. I also regularly make a pasta bake with red lentils, and have previously used tinned brown lentils for slow cooker stews.
