Which are the best engines for which planes?

A330 two CF6-80E1 or PW4000 or RR Trent 700
B737 Pratt & Whitney JT8D or the CFM56-3/7
B757 RB211 or the p&w alternate in the PW2040/2043
B777 the RR trent 800 P&W400 or the GE90
B787 the trent 100 or GNEX similar on the A350
A380 The Trent 900 or Engine alliance GP7200

Similar on other planes.

Whose your favoroute aircraft engine manufactuer?
Your favouroute engine?
Why airlines go for one engine and not the other?
And anything else on aircraft engine choice? i.e their performance, why RR get more power from smaller engines than others, any news on engine development, Why airlines have differnet engines on same plane in their fleet etc?

Thanks BA
