What are people's favorite low-dropout linear regulators? ("Jellybean" in
the sense of The Art of Electronics -- the ones you want to keep on hand in
some quantity.)

Brew your own with a low saturation voltage device operated in collector output
mode and you'll get pretty fine performance.

Sure, brew your own and when you're done spending all the wasted hours
and money.
You can then simply get your self an IC for which exist so many that

FWIW I see a lot of LM1117 variants, eg LD1117, AP1117, etc. Then
there are the higher current types such as LT1084/1085.
