An almost even split between Z80A (As used in Sinclair, Amstrad and many others) and 6502/6510 (as used in Apple II, Commodore and others). One late vote for 8086/8088, the mainstay of the original IBM PC. Nobody here cut their teeth on the 8008 (Intel's famous original 8-bit CPU used in the Altair) or 6809 (where are you BBC guys??).
On reflection, I should have included the 8080; the Intel CPU that the Z80 was impersonating.
