It really depends on the specific situation as to what knot you should use. That is why there are so many of them. In general /out/ activities I would say I use these knots the most.
>>taught line hitch - tightening guy lines/ clothes lines/ you name it
>>square knot - because it's easy and fast
>> bowline - when you don't want your knot sucked tight against the tree you're tying to
>> clove hitch - attaching the middle of a line to a biner or starting a lashing
>>double fisherman's - making adjustable loops
>>timber hitch - tying off to the end of a stick/log
>> diagonal/ square/ round lashings - for building all sorts of fun shelters
