I am only interested in connectors for your flight batteries.

I suspect most people use the bullet connectors they got with their ESC or motor for the phase (brushless motor) connections.

I don't really care about the connector on your receiver battery.

I want to know if Deans are anywhere near being knocked off the top.

I'm considering going back to powerpoles, so I won't vote. I'll get some and see how they are now, but I used to use them in E-Boats with a lot of success.

I use the green 6 pole Multiplex connectors. They are very good up to about 30 amps. Not very popular in the US but in Germany.

I voted "Other". I like the connectors from Astro Flight:

They'll take 50A continuous and 100A peak.

I use MPX contacts, very common in Sweden it seems.
