How to pick a phone number

Today is 10-5-10 or 5-10-10, so this is appropriate* :)

So here's the task: You want to pick a number that's easy to remember.

There are different ways to do this:

• repeating pattern, e.g., 555-1212 in the movies
• related numbers, e.g., 455-4656 (my new number), which is (4 = n): n n+1 n+1 – n n+2 n+1 n+2
• familiar numbers, e.g, 451-1812 (Farenheit 451 – War of 1812)
• word-to-number mapping, e.g, 981-HUGH for my dad
• did I miss any?

What's the best method to pick a number?

What's your favorite number?
