I use my 125lb. Sodorfors the most and my 206lb. Trenton next.

My main anvil is a 250# Peter Wright.  I also have a 100# Brooks, which I really enjoy working on, but I keep it as a portable.

I think I use my Bubba Rhino most. That, of course, is just over 150Kg. It is just very convenient having the big face and the mass is always useful.

I gravitate towards a double horn euroanvil at the blacksmithing school, im not 100% sure but i dont think its larger than 150, probably about 125.  i think i prefer it mostly for the round/square horn availability and its set at the right height for me.  it feels pretty good to work sucker rod into tools on it, so the weight seems right for not having to work too hard.

 

my anvil at home is a 55lb ASO that has only seen some light non ferrous work.

My main shop anvil is a 515# Fisher---I love the wide horn for fullering stock longer faster.  I love the quietness and the feel that all the hammer's blow is going into moving metal and not bouncing the anvil around.

My 110#-ish HB is the only one I have, but I like it well enough. 

 

I'd love to get something about 200# with cleaner edges though.
