I've been using my Zeiss 10x45T with range finders for a couple years now and wouldn't go back to bino's without range finders again. The time saved could be the difference in getting that trophy or not.
Don't mess with me, I'm too old to fight, too fat to run, so I going to have to kill you.

Any optics freak/hunter worth his salt should own at least 7-10 bins.  Plus 2-3 spotting scopes.  Geez what an enabler  I can see having one for each pack... 
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Steiner Peregrine XP 10x44's.
Talk about a bang for your buck. Almost traded them recently but just couldn't bring myself to push play, they're THAT good. (Sorry again, Dave)
Wondering how they compare with the new Hunter XP's.

Since about 1996 I have used a pair of 7x42 Swarovski SLC's.

Leupold Gold Ring 9x35 for over 20 years. Those are nice. I had a pair, sold them when I got my 8X30 Swarovski.

Leica ultravid 10x42 for me. However I still have a soft spot in my heart for my old Leitz 7x35. I love the size and form factor...perfect! I really want a pair of Ultravid 8x32 but hard to justify the cost of two alpha bins when there are rifles to buy.

Today I was thinking about my post of several days ago. My favorite, that I use, is a 7X50 Nikon. It's resolution is a step up from the 7X35 which were a step up from the 7X36 Zen Ray.
But today I remembered the only binos that gave me WOW! when I looked through them. I believe they would be my favorite if I had them. They were Swarovski 8.5X42 selling for a mere $2,430. That's about twelve times more than my Nikons.
