Default Mags versus EI?

I'm curious as to what type of ignition systems we are running on our traditional engines, Magnetos or Electronic Ignitions.

I've included an in between 'Hybrid' category for those that revert back to mechanical (LASAR, etc.) upon failure of the electronic ignition or external power.

Lastly, a mixed system: 1 magneto and 1 electronic/hybrid.
