What is your favorite nagewaza and why?
Mine is Tai Otoshi. It combos well with almost anything, while be low risk and high outcome.

Yoko Wakare. I'm an old guy, and I like to lie down.

I use ko uchi gake a lot nowadays. I didn’t use ko uchi much until I started coaching, when I also tried to stop using my bread and butter techniques and focus more on my weaknesses. It opens up space for a lot of drop throws and hip toss techniques as well as being a generally low threat off balancer.

Several of my students also favor ko uchi gake. I think it's a good place where wrestling and judo have an overlapping feel. One of them uses ko uchi gake to set up a devastating drop kata guruma.

O soto gari and uchi mata are my two favorite throws. I’ll also use sumi gaeshi and tani otoshi as sacrifice throws (usually against big guys). I like o soto so much that I bought this shirt for no-gi class:

Other than sacrifices, my goto throws are o guruma, koshi guruma and a high rear variant of tai otoshi. My yoko wakare comment is obviously tongue and cheek, but I do love both yoko wakare and sumi gaeshi as well, although I generally won't use them against lower belts. I find o guruma to be the most versatile of all the standing throws and a fantastic combo finisher.

I like Sumi Gaeshi & Kosoto Makikomi . I also like Sode Tsurikomi Goshi, but I have never hit it.
