Mine is "pow vanity" (zeros) because can be useful if relays start to ask it to prove you have a not quick created account, ex. for spam purpose. Just in case.
I will use other vanity prefix with caution, I think that nostr vanity addresses different than pow could be bad for security: people are encouraged to check the npub key, they are used to focus the start/end part of a key, a matching vanity prefix give a sense of security and slow down the attention, so become quite easy to try to impersonate someone else.
NIP-05 of course help, if with a custom domain, but this is a different story.
