1) Linux - not the greatest, by far, but it gets the job done and pays
the bills ( in my case, anyway ). And it still has good long term
viability, as of 2017, anyway.
2) Solaris - Sun finally got it right starting with Solaris 7, and it
just got better from there. I ran it for many, many years on my Home
Ultra 5.
Really sad to see what Oracle did to it! I use to have boss say that
Solaris was the UNIX geek's UNIX, he might be right ( altho these days
that's probably BSD ).
3) Irix - Not the best UNIX, but damn, those workstations it ran on WERE
the best. I miss my Indigo R4K/Elan almost as much as I do my Ultra 5
with Solaris 9 on it!
