I've used lpsolve [1] for over 20 years in various projects in the beginning. When the project momentum picks up and the finances can be justified, it's CPLEX.

lpsolve is simple to use. Open source, with packages in most every language. Easy to embed.

CPLEX because it's fast. With CPLEX I often find it takes more time (1 - 2 orders of magnitude) to formulate/construct the problem than it does for CPLEX to actually solve it.

I would love to get the chance to use Gurobi.
