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 information

I do a dhal in the slow cooker at least once a week. Once you mix yourself a decent garam masala, it doesn’t really matter what else you add beyond the lentils. I usually toss in a can of diced tomatoes and a can of tomato paste; then some chicken breasts or some ground beef, or sometimes keep it vegan.

Adjust to taste, and it’s a meal that takes 5 minutes to prep in the morning for a delicious dinner ready to serve in the evening.

Usually I use green lentils.
