Discharge opioid preferences

The two pain medicine threads on the front page got me thinking about our opioid prescribing patterns. Do any of you have specific medication preferences when prescribing outpatient opioids? If so, do you have a particular reason for choosing that drug? Of course, this is all assuming a low-dose, short-term course for appropriate diagnoses in conjunction with non-opioid analgesics.
