All that matters is that our families were together in 1297 and beat the English.

Why do you use the tuning that you use?

I keep my own guitar set to D standard. I like the added depth I get from this, and it allows for a variety of styles. I'll flip it into drop C every so often so this allows for a variety of styles for me to play. I mostly play power metal and I like the ballsier attack I get. My band also plays in D standard and even though I'm not the guitarist, I write most of the material on guitar so having one in our tuning helps. My band plays in D standard because it heavies up our tone, and D is a good key for me to sing in.

I'm going to tune the next 5-string I get to either EADGC or DADGC, depending on what I use it for.
Or if I get a 6 string I'll just tune it in standard.

The last band I was in played solely in C-standard tuning, so that's what I was tuned to for quite a while. I actually tuned my 6-string bass up a half-step from standard tuning instead of tuning it down 2 whole steps as the strings would have nearly fallen off, haha.
Right now I'm usually in E-standard for my project This White Mountain, though one song was written in dropped-A# because I happened to be tuned in C-standard and needed a drop tuning to finger the chords properly (no, not power chords, I'm not that poor of a musician).
As far as everything else goes, I'm usually in C-standard tuning, though I will switch it on occasion if I'm playing along with another song and I don't feel like playing along to Guitar Pro.
There's really no reason for me tuning to C-standard as opposed to say, D-standard, it's just what I'm used to. E-standard, however, is too high, IMO, for heavier stuff.

I play in dropped C# (C#G#C#F#A#D#)
it's an odd tuning and is an aquired taste, but i get the heaviness of C and the clarity of D

Well, you misspelled guitar, there's no verb in your second to last sentence, and there's an unexplained pronoun in the last one, although I imagine this is because you intended to use a comma instead of a period.
seven strings bass, recently tuned in E0(20,60Hz) all in fourths to fit the standard D2 guitar tuning my band use to get a thicker tone than their previous E2 and Eb2 standards
I prefer standard F#0 to play on my own
