Not sure if this has been asked here before, or if this is the right place to ask (feel free to move it mods

I use the default Beech Baron most because I like props and the barron can cover more ground than the single engine Cesna.
I base my Baron at O'hare Int, Chicago. Although I often move to other smaller runways for quick flights because Ohare has so much taxiing involved.
Cold start is the way I go for realism.
I usually use cold fronts for weather and always fly in real time. If it's dark out when I fire up the sim, it's dark when I fly..

It changes.  A really good new add-on gets The "default" for a while, or a new repaint, or effect test. 

At the moment, since I got FSRecorder and FRAPS, It's the Black Pearl III (Spindrift), at 400,000 ft. over Pensacola NAS, poised to plummet towards, and land on, the "Pensacola Aircraft Carrier". 

Landing on the carrier's not too hard, but due to the "unique" characteristics of the Spindrift on landing, I keep running over the recovery crew before whobbling to a stop.  Most embarrassing. 

Carenado C172 - currently doing flight training in a 172
Any one of the many airport in Hawaii (changes daily) - spent about 80% of my flying time Hawaii
Real World Weather - it's Hawaii, the weather always nice.
Dusk - when things look

Cold n' Dark - it's the most realistic

I use a custom painted Yak-141 because it's awesome (yes, I know there are really only two... maybe I stole one) based at a ramp at Toledo Express Airport (which is right near where I live).

I fly at whatever time it is in my own timezone with the exception of long or supersonic intercontinental flights (in which I use the UTC) and always use Real-World-Weather.

Thanks for all your replies people!!

Hawaii sounds good... might give that a go tonight, maybe a mini tour in a beaver?!
