Futaba but HiTec is closing in
Appx 50% Futaba, 25% Hitech, 20% JR, 5% Airtronics. There are a couple of people using the Tower radios... but they are just relabeled Futaba, so that's where I've included them.
Since each manufacturer above (and a copule of others..) makes decent equipment... whatever you started with will tend to be what you stick with.
If all the local shop had was one brand, everyone at the field used that brand when the hobby shop was the primary source of kits, equipment and ADVICE... Now, since a large percentage of stuff gets mail ordered, you'll find more than one brand R/C system showing up at most fields.

Our club is split between Futaba and JR. One member has an Airtronics and I have the only Hitecs. Although I am in the process of switching to all Futaba.
