Thinking about a new carry gun in the near future and I've been considering what kind of sights I would want. I know it's a very individual thing and I might have to try a couple different kinds. But I'm interested in everyone else's thoughts.

Trijicon Tritium front and rear. Why? Because it isn't always daylight, and lasers like tracers work BOTH ways.
Factory night sights on my off duty gun (M&p 9 2.0). Trijicon HDs on my duty gun (Glock 21).
For the m&p 9 2.0: it’s because I want night sights but am too cheap to buy trijicon HDs.
For my Glock 21: it’s because my agency put them on our guns.
Glock White Outline ! Quick Acquisition on target everytime ! What works for me does not necessarily work for everyone !
PPS M2 9mm: Meprolight Tritium (all green)
USP Compact 9mm: Meprolight Tritium (orange rear, green front)
USP Tactical 9mm (not a carry gun, sometimes HD gun): Meprolight Adjustable Tritium (all green, factory installed)
I use Meprolight because that's what HK uses for their night sights, though only one of them came preinstalled. All the others I installed myself. They're simple, affordable, and effective.
Mine has Tru Glo TFO sights. Fiber optic for day, Tritium for night. They came on my gun, but I like them.
Meprolight night sights.
Might swap to trijicon HAD
Few of my friends prefer XS
Tritium night sights.
I'm entertaining the idea of going to a red-dot... They are recently becoming more practical as a practical carry option.
Trijicon RMR RM06 and BUIS are XS suppressor height standard dot sights
Trijicon HD night sights on Walther PPQ. I like the large obnoxious orange front dot during the daylight. Just put it on target. Typical looking night sight picture in low light.
