MSR WhisperLite International Multi-Fuel Stove
Old reliable

I have had my whisperlite for almost ten years now and it's still going strong. It burns super hot and simmers fairly well. My favorite feature is how easily you can maintain it in the field. The 'Shaker Jet' will usually clear out any gunk that is messing with the stove, but in case that doesn't work the whole thing can be stripped down, cleaned, re-assembled and lit in 15 minutes. I have had good success with this stove in the winter as well. Never had issues with the fuel line clogging.
