Blade. But, it's a very new reality.
 
Big ole mallet.

Blade currently. Have generally had a blade or wide blade on the bag.
 
Heavy wide blade.
 
Toulon Daytona Beach mallet



.
 
Currently a mallet but have in reserve a couple additional mallets a d couple of blades.
 
Mallet. Lately a Lean Lock Mallet. It may displace my Mizuno M-Craft if it keeps up making putts.
 
I think of putters in three basic styles.

1) Blades
2) Mallets
3) Flange on the back

The most common style is probably the flange-back design, like a Ping Anser and a million others. Maybe most people call those "blades" but I save that term for a true blade.

I use a Anser-style putter with a flange and a plumbers neck hosel, which up until the last decade or so was the most popular design.

It's weird. Visually I wish I could putt well with a true blade. Confidence-wise, mallets always seem to me like they ought to work best. But year in and year out I do my best putting with an Anser. Results matter so I go with what works.

Plumbers necks are my jam.

Holy smokes, thought that was my post 'cause....Scotty SB2....Ping Anser 2....and now Ody-10 2ball....and there's a Ben Hogan Bettinardi The Hawk putter sitting there, too...all just depends on how I'm rolling it. Currently, Odyssey resides in the putter well.
 
Mallet.

I did a LOT of messing with putters this past winter; same head but different necks. Found that the plumbers neck was best for me to deliver the ball online. I can clearly see how the OG7 is more forgiving than the NP2. I love the Scotty, but Odyssey for the win.
 
Mallet. Switched to mallet about 2 years ago after playing blades for 40+ years.
 
Cleveland Huntington Beach 10.5c
It's a center shafted mallet with a relatively small heel-to-toe measurement, which i really like.
 
Wide blade.

The largest of the large goofy spaceship mallets.
 
Blade for me. I always end up pondering a mallet in the winter but always seem to end up with a blade back in the bag by mid season

One of the weirdest things coming back to golf is seeing any putter that is not a mallet is now being called a blade.
 
Odyssey Eleven CS mallet. Never gamed a blade. Had an Odyssey Tank #7 and a Heavy Putter before that. I was pleasantly surprised how well I putted with a Scotty Newport I won in a giveaway, but it's not quite the right feel or toe hang for me.
