Quarter hollow is as light a grind as I go. There is the occasional full hollow that I enjoy but these are few and far between.

My favorite 'grind' is a frameback. It has the stiffness of a wedge, the weight and ease of honing of a full hollow, and good edge retention, due to the relative thickness compared to a full hollow.
second choice would be a full hollow. I used to prefer heavier razors, but as time went by I felt myself prefering full hollows and 3/4 hollows.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

well as there is no "all of them" a narrow hollow ground or a frameback are my favorites stiff without the mass.

Be just and fear not.
