Four pairs of various Mares fins, had to upgrade to a size bigger at one point to accommodate rock boots and drysuit. Two pairs are with spring straps, and the other two are much older with plastic / rubber straps.

However I've been using Hollis F2s now for the past three years and they are perfect for me and the diving I do.
 
2 jets. Black and pink. Xl. 3 open heel quattros. Black. And 2 pairs of red, one for drysuit, 1 for wetsuit. And 2 pairs of full foot fins. 1 with long blades and 1 shorties for the pool. Gave away some short lived early 2000’s splits and a pair of blue blade fins, I didn’t like blue anymore. I want shiny chrome fins with led colour changing lights.
 
I have no idea, lots, old fins, foot fins, rockets fins, Plana fins.....
The Mares Plana Avanti L and XL for the dry suit boots are my go to fins with another pair in full foot style for warm water snorkeling.
 
Too many—and too many masks!
 
Three pair:
Forcefin Hockey
Forcefin Pros
Oceanic full foot (old)
 
3 pair of blue Mares Plana Avanti Quattros - people keep giving these to me and I have been using Plana Avanti fins of one type or another since 1984!
1 pair of Scubapro Twin Jet Gorillas - my go to fins
1 pair of Cressi Free Frog full foot fins for snorkeling and tropical diving if I don't feel like wearing a boot
probably a few other pairs of fins lost in the house and/or the garage somewhere!
 
I call this the wall of fins. There are 10 pair here and two more in gear bags as well as a pair of Churchills for body surfing.
I usually use Zeagle Recons at work, Atomic smoke split fins for recreation dives and rotate a few of the others in every once in a while. Prior to moving to Hawaii I almost always used Mares Power plana black graphite fins from the 1980's and I still do sometimes; they are very light and powerful.

2 pairs.
Seawing novas for local wetsuit diving and warm water travel.
Jet fins for dry suit diving.
 
Two. I periodically try to sell one pair (Apeks RK3), as I haven’t used them since I bought my Deep 6 Eddy.
