Not really a fair sample as I've only built TWO whole aircraft in the past 10 years...
Testors clear part cement on one and plain old Future on the other.

My glues of choice for clear parts are the Micro Crystal Clear posted by Bucky, Gator's Grip Glue and Testor's Window Cement; not necessarily in that order.
