Bombay Sapphire is the staple for me. Tangueray Ten is a tad smother, but lacks the flavor of Sapphire.

I do like regular Bombay and Beefeater for budget gin. I've yet to try Hendrick's, but I've heard good things about it.

I have to have tonic. I can take or leave the lime, either is fine.

On a side note I've found that Bolivar Royal Coronas slight citrus notes are complemented by a good gin and tonic like Sapphire. For this combo, I would recommend leaving the slice of lime out. It can be a little overpowering and even cause the lime juice to get on the wrapper after you squeeze it. I've made that mistake.
