My favourite is probably the Firemans carry/throw/takedown and near arm far leg. I like it because it involves attacking both the arms and legs, giving me a higher percentage takedown. I like to hit it from a 2 on 1 or overhook, because I can secure the arm and then get them stepping to open up the shot. If I can't get good position on the Russian or the overhook, I don't bother going for the shot, which leads it to being higher percentage takedown since I usually can tell if I'm going to get it before I even try.
Also, it puts me in a better position to pin/control since I usually end up in head & arm side control, as opposed to shooting a double or single, getting the takedown but then having to deal with passing the guard
I can also finish with a high crotch instead or take the back if they free their arm as I go for the leg.
