    I like ls -Ap, the -p option is convenient, it puts a / at the end of names if they're directories. -A is like -a but doesn't show . and ..

    -l is sometimes useful, but a bit cluttered and less readable (at least to me, maybe it wouldn't be if I were used to using it)

    but if your hand is already on the keyboard, it's faster to type la than ll since you can move two hands faster than one (if they're doing the same movement, since with one hand you'd need to do the movement, reset and do it again)
