Who do you use when you’ve had a bad day? For me, Law pea or Bandit Cactus. Or All Star, and astronaut. On a good day I use the Alien flower and Mystic flower. For zombies General Supremo and Mechani...

As a recent max rank, I'm still figuring this one out. I've been on the grind for so long now, it's taking some time to get my bearings.
The characters I've found myself using most since hitting max rank are default pirate, general supremo, default and jade cactus, alien flower (I'm trying to get away from her because it's become a bit of a meme among the guys I play with), toxic pea and I guess a couple of others. I often end up with computer scientist if I'm on zombies and the game reaches the last stage. I think more all star is in my future because I can do really well with him regarding the objectives in turf.
If I want to have party/fun, I will use regular rose/imp and be dancing around
If I want to sit and relax, I will snipe from far away (any cactus/pirates).
If I want to be nice, I will use sunflower and heal everybody.
If I want to crash a party, I will use all-star (punts and tackles) and pea shooter (pea Gatling and bomb).
If I want to be a bad boy, I will eat all of the zombies with Chomper until one of them going mad.
If somebody revenge/taunt me, I will haunt him down with Chomper or smash him on the back using computer scientist.
If I want to beat the boss, I will use toxic brains.
and so on...
When it comes to just playing for fun my roster normally includes All-Star and Scientist for zombies & Pea and Chomper for plants.
Getting down to specifics I enjoy Goalie Star, Tennis Star and Cricket Star. (Fast rate of fire on All-star is great but freezing people is a lot of fun too.) For scientist, I got an appreciation for Chemist in GW1 and it holds in GW2. I also like Astronaut (how original of me) and Marine Biologist. A favorite move of mine is to warp in get the vanquish and warp away to heal. (Learned that from challenges in GW1) I also bring out Toxic Brainz occasionally if I want to melee for awhile. (Why just melee when you can melee and be rewarded?)
On the plants I tend to use Ice Pea and Toxic Pea. (Old friends from GW1.) I also will use Agent Pea if I want to do a secret mission. (Teleporter destroying, assassinating people with kill streaks or campers.) My favorite chompers are bite ones, Hot Rod Chomper (big surprise) and Count Chompula. A sneaky chomper is a successful chomper, eat stragglers and profit. (I find breath chompers not as effective.) On the off chance I feel like tanking (Or being mercilessly shot at) I dust off Ice Citron and Torchwood.
I've said it before, but the freedom of being max rank brought back some life to the game. I can't help it if, for every 10 variants I only really like 1. Most of reaching max rank was boring or worse, frustrating. So, I'm glad to be back to old favorites, many of which I got an appreciation for in GW1. (Often due to challenges.)
I bounce around all over when not filling a need for a boss hunt where I tend to be a sunflower or scientist since heals are so useful. Some of my favorites include the Skytrooper (love the extreme rate of fire on his weapon, it has a satisfying 'zzzippp!' sound), the Plumber (firing plungers has a certain Dalek appeal for Doctor Who fans like me in a silly way), the Party Imp (LOVE his music), and Stuffy Flower (firing rainbows at zombies is too amusing).
I also actually like Captain Squawk even with his problems since I love the weapon and I have that robot bird hat on his head!
