Which sort of wallplug for brick/masonry do posters here prefer?

I ask this because a lot of products I buy which need to be fixed on
the wall come with two screws and two "conical" wallplugs.

Personally, I can't really see how I drill a snug hole for a conical
plug. In which circumastances I would want to use such a plug? Am I
overlooking a use which this sort of wallplug is designed for?

The end of the cone expands as the screw is put in.
Personally, I think the rolls-royce of wall plugs is the Plasplug. That
plus a matchstick to bulk it up for narrow screws is great.
It has thin fins so it doesn't rotate in the hole, it is flexible enough
to allow some variation in screw size, and works every time for me.
All others seem to bring out my ham fistedness.
