I have 4.
WAHM mei tai
DIY buckle carrier
Maya wrap ring sling
Ergo Sport
Most use: Ergo Sport. Before that, it was my DIY buckle carrier, and before that it was the mei tai, and before that it was the sling. I use each carrier at specific stages and for specific reasons.
Right now, my Ergo is my carrier. That's it. The MT is uncomfortable and the DIY I made is too tall and too wide. (I can fix it, but have too much going on right now to worry about it.) It worked while I needed it, but I'm glad to have the Ergo. It's much easier.
I also use my ring sling for quick carries to and from the car, particularly when he's asleep and I have bags to carry in. The ring sling doubles as a strap for keeping him contained in a seat.
