GREAT GEAR RECOMMENDATION - Best Stoves List

This is pretty straight forward folks.  Three proven stoves for three different situations.  Feel free to futz around with everything else on the market but most of you come here to see what my research and experience has led me to conclude.   

These are the ones I currently carry and recommend.

Snow Peak LiteMax Stove (super light weight, canister stove, for temps above 20 degrees and trips of 3 to 4 days or less)

JetBoil PCS (light weight, self contained, all in one canister stove with cup for temps above 20 degrees and trips longer than 3 to 4 days because of its high efficiency)

MSR XGK-EX (moderate weight, heavy duty, bomb proof reliability, burns pretty much anything flammable, for high altitude, extreme cold, expeditions or international travel)

The only other types to consider are the car camping and alcohol stoves but I am not ready to go there yet.

Thanks.
