1/2+0 (hyperbullet)
Rapid - 5+10 to 5+12 :]
20+0 or 60+0, I like knowing I have time to think everything through without feeling under pressure.
My favourite time control is 60+15.
I also like 10+5 and 3+2.
I consider increment necessary and try to avoid bullet.

3+2
I have to say, I much prefer the standard classical time control of 90 minutes for 40 moves, add 30 minutes for the rest with a 30 second increment from the beginning. If I'm playing casually, usually 30+0 is fine, but I definitely make more mistakes. I mean, I've spent 20-30 minutes on a single move on more than one occasion. Playing a full game in that amount of time seems crazy when I think about it.
Yet here on lichess, I pretty much exclusively play 5+3 or 2+1. Then again, I'm playing chess online for fun, it's not really a serious pursuit. I take my correspondence games on here sightly more seriously and I'll usually spend around 5-10 minutes for a move in more complex positions. Likewise if I'm playing 15+15, I can play more seriously. I just don't really like risking opponents letting their time run, so I don't play those longer time controls often.
