That's a loaded question. My go to knots tend to be the following:

Loop in the end of a rope: Bowline with Yosemite finish
Loop in the middle of the rope: Alpine butterfly loop
End to end bend: Sheet bend or Ashley bend
Slip and grip: Tautline/rolling hitch
Hard tensioning: Truckers hitch with directional figure 8
Slipknot: Double overhand slipknot
Binding knot: Constrictor or versatackle
Stopper knot: Figure 8 or oystermans
