Well, to have a bit of a counterpart to ezstreet1997's post http://aethercards.com/discourse/index.php?topic=42.0 here it is.

My favorite stock was the UV500 stock but since that's not in production anymore my favorite is a tie between the aristocrat stock and the bee casino stock.

Probably the Aristocrat stock used on DnD decks. UV500 was great, my ghost are still in good condition especially seeing as I've used them so much.

I really like whatever it is the Steamboats use right now.  Aristocrat is obviously very nice.  Favourite overall is whatever the  Jill deck uses (apparently almost nobody knows what it is and those who do aren't saying). 
The Bee stock is actually probably one of my least favourites; I think they crimp way too easily, which is nice for some things but a single palm can wreck the deck and there's no fixing it.

No, stock, like the paper of the deck, like bicycle stock, bee stock, aristocrat, etc etc

Haha, I know what stock means. I just  looked at the title of the finish post, and accidentally clicked this. My favorite stock is bike stock, for the same reason I like air-cushion. But I also like aristocrat stock.

Once again though never met a man who likes bike stock over others.

No, magicians don't absolutely NEED to know the difference between stock, but i know a few mind blowing tricks that requires some knowledge  on stock.

The Phoenix Double Decker stock looks pretty interesting (104 cards with the thickness of 52, so you can show every card in the deck but rough&smooth them and put force cards behind every one).
