Canon
Gee, you ask the question as if there is an option?
I have been using Canon since about 1985.
I started with an AE-1p, then on to the New F-1, which I used until just a few years ago, when I switched to the EOS-1v film camera. I currently still own two of the three 1v's I've had (you still can't beat film) and most recently I picked up a used EOS-1d digital that I am VERY happy with.
I also have a 'disposable' camera which is also a Canon, and has also been published: the Canon PowerShot SD-200. Cranked to full size and highest resolution, it can do a 1-page magazine photo. It's about the size of a pack of cigarettes too, so it tends to be a bit more clandestine than a 1d with a 24-70 on it...
The next body I buy will be the EOS-1d III, as it has the speed I need, the ruggedness and water resistance I have with my 1v and 1d, and a high enough pixel count for full two-page articles that I can't do with razor sharpness with the 1d.
Lenses are all 'L' glass, with the exception of the 15mm/2.8 fish-eye.
14/2.8L
15/2.8 fish eye
24-70/2.8L macro
135/2L
70-200/2.8L
You don't realize how much better the L lenses are overall (not just the images) until you compare them side-by-side. Build quality, fit, finish and function are all better. The focus motors are faster and quieter as well, which is nice for not spooking animals (but the shutter is still a problem...)
I can live with a lesser camera and have more watches, but I make a fair amount of money with this gear, and can (slightly) offset the purchase cost of my camera 'toys' with my magazine income.
Now, if I can just get them to pay me on time...:001_tt2:
