I think everyone here can only be glad about (almost) all foundries embracing OpenType. Once again one of the best overviews of great typography last year.

Your process echoes my own. I will say that it is good to have a list like this so I can broaden my arsenal of tools on occasion. Who knows if I'll work on a project for which I'll need one of these, but its great for me to know they're out there. As for "favorites" I think it goes more toward that thing we never really discuss in design: style. Even though we are supposedly selflessly seeking the best possible solutions to every design challenge, we can't help but have certain go-to techniques that we know will always work in certain circumstances, thus if you look at a designers' body of work, there are normally some similarities from project to project.
