Citra and Galaxy 1:1 is my favorite hop pairing. But as mentioned several times above, Equinox is killer. If it's not my favorite hop, it's number 2. Citra would be its competition, but I have not used them in a direct pairing before. I'm brewing an imperial hoppy amber this weekend that has 1:1:1:1 ratio of Equinox, Citra, Columbus, and Centennial. I'm really looking forward to it.

Bottom line is, I think you just need to experiment yourself and find your favorite hop combo. I would say that the "perfect" combo has yet to be discovered, nor would it be perfect from one person to the other.

I am a big fan of Simcoe/Nelson. Sadly, I haven't been able to get Neslon in bulk for some time, so I haven't brewed with it in years.

Simcoe/Cascade and Simcoe/Amarillo are great blends.

Galaxy/Amarillo/CTZ was a great mix (did that 2/2/1).

Apollo/Amarillo/Ahtanum made an amazing IPA for me once, and I may try blending Apollo with more traditional citrusy hops in the future (2/1 Cascade/Apollo may work).

I echo the Cascade/Centennial mix suggestions.  Seems to work really well as a base.

Yes 1:1 ratios for Cascade/Centennial.  Here is a great recipe to try:

55%/45% Hallertau/Cascade in a saison.  Killer!

I like Amarillo/Denali/Idaho 7 for my hoppy amber. Pale ale gets mosaic/galaxy/Vic secret or Idaho 7
