Even if opinion based answers or polling for opinions was OK, cost cannot be ignored as it is a valid criteria. Then, with the varieties of corking materials in use today, I would not even say I have a favorite myself, as I have been known to use push-in with corks I think may be prone to crumpling, wing for firmer natural cork and "wiggle blades" for synthetic.

Aug 27, 2017 at 15:17 comment added Hebekiah That "winged" type is made to do that, leave the cork in the bottle a bit. It's so that you can par-open bottles, do them ahead of time without breaking the air seal. After pulling up, dip or run some water over the cork to let it firm up. When you're ready to serve it'll twist/pull out better.

Rephrased final question so it is less opinion oriented ("best type"), seeking objective criteria
