whats your favorite pleco? besides a zebra

I hate planet catfish myself, You gotta love your cats to understand how to find any **** thing there, so I don't bother looking at that site,
I hate common plecos for the fact they get to dang big and trash your tanks decor when they start to get larger, I have two at 2 feet each before, never again, Big fish lke that are a waste of tank space IMHO.
Only other one I have had is the bristle nose I have Now, He is Great.....I also like the looks of the royle and rubbe lips and a couple others that stay smaller sizex 6" and under but don't recall the names.......
 
I don't have a lot of experience with plecos but I have a rhino pleco and I think he's gorgeous.

Also I get my plecos where I can see them by putting one (and only one) piece of driftwood in the tank (it's long and hollow so they can hide in it). Seeing how plecos need driftwood they come to it every now and then so I see them then.
 
1. Zebra Pleco
2. Goldy Pleco
3. L-134
4. Gold Nugget
5. Royal Pleco (I like them when they are small, but when they get large, they look like a football in shape)
 
It's impossible to choose - I'd love a huge tank with lots of plecs, there are so many that are absolutely gorgeous.
My new little gold nugget (L018) is beautiful, I like these plecs a lot and waited a long time to get one. I have a gold marble bristlenose (Ancistrus claro) with a great personality and nice colouration, wouldn't give him up for the world. I saw some black and white striped pecolitas (both thin and thick striped) yesterday that I wanted to bring home, I've never seen them before and found them really appealing. If I had unlimited tank space, I would have bought them along with the red gibbiceps I saw yesterday, I have no doubt that fish will be absolutely stunning at full size. Royals are also beautiful fish, and if I ever see zebra otos I'll buy as many as I can get my hands on. When it comes down to it, I just like catfish - it's really difficult to pick a favourite.
 
1. scarlet L24
2. L027 Xingu Royal
3. Magnum, mango (full grown)
4. Panaque sutoni(blue eyed plec) L?
5. L190 gold line royal
6. xanto L55 I think not sure
7. Sultan L?
8. Adonis (when small)
9. L46 zebra (like them but they are so small)
