What does everyone favour?
It seems that 30-45 is optimum reading various sources.
For Fly's I go with 30 Degree's while Pressing I'm closer to 40 Degree's.

I vary from lowest incline up to 45 degrees. Prob staying nearer to 30-45 more often than not though, as you say

I keep the incline relatively low for pressing - 30 degrees tops. The fixed back on the incline bench in my gym is probably a little steeper than that.
Flyes...what are they?

I do my presses on the lower incline which I think on my bench is around 30 degrees... I do think it's worth varying though (unless you are falling apart like simon m 
).

The benches at my gym are quite poor really, they have just 3 settings. One at about 30 another around 50 and the next about 80. So I always keep in on the lowest otherwise it turns into a shoulder workout.

Same, the change from a low to medium incline puts too much onto the shoulders for me.
