All of the above...
1 through 4 (would be all of the above except that I've never owned own a lens longer than 300mm for 4x5).

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
All the above and MORE.
58, 65, 75, 90, 125, 150, 210, 300 and 500 mm, as well as a 120 mm micro.
I'd really like a 450 or a 500T when I can afford to buy a camera that has enough bellows extension to use one.

For 4x5, 58mm and up to 300mm. One more if I had the bellows. 5 total.
Walter, you must have a strong back.

Like many others, I use all of the above, depending on the objective for the individual image.
A more telling question would be which focal lengths are used most often.
For me, that would be 110mm (~40%) and 240mm (~30%) on 4x5.
47mm to 550mm here...
While I would normally use my 160mm Turner-Reich triple convertible at 160mm, I occasionally could be seen with lenses anywhere from 65mm to 375mm on the front of the Cambo for different shots.
As far as this newbie is concerned, I agree with Ralph Barker which lens to use:
