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 only really get brown lentils, the two things I tend to use them for are the main ingredient in soup (along with carrots onions potatoes etc), and for fried lentils on rice.
