For me I've changed it up based on a few stones i've recently purchased from other members.
Currently depending on the condition/shape of the blade:
Bevel setters: Carborundum 118 (used twice with great results, unbelievably fast with soap and water.) to Naniwa SS 1k (removes scratches from 118 and is slower). Thanks to Keith for advice on the Carborundum
Once blade is cutting hairs from heel to toe I move on to the next stone.
Formerly: Norton 4k/8k
Currently: La Petite Blanche Coticule using Dilucot (or the bastardized version that I do) up until almost water (roughly 30 laps on this very hard, very fast coti)
before going to just water I switch
Finishing stone: Blue Thuringian with slurry and dilute again until just water for final polish (thanks again Keith)
Then 50 on linen, and 100 laps on leather.
