Peppers are my favorite - a day rarely goes by that I don't eat something with at least one of these peppers in it! Garlic, close to it, but chiles are definitely #1. If I had to pick the one I use the most it would be the Thai/jyoti - the short, very hot peppers, in many types of food whole, and I crush them for pepper flakes, and grind them for a cayenne substitute. I don't buy chili powder with garlic, cumin, and Oregano added - I'll add those, if I want them, as needed. However, these are my favorite pure chili powders, that I mix, to make chili and the like:
Chamoya
Pecos Red
Rancho
Texas Red Dog
