My installed routes are as follows:

All 6 defaults;
NEC v4;
Swansea - Carmarthen;
Modern England;
London to Southampton (but can't get this to work so it's just idling atm);
PRACTISE (my own shunting route, I love it!);
Valley Lines;
Tiny route;
...some other routes but can't remember them all...

Which routes do I use the most? Because I'm a fan of HST and actually want to get some speed out of the train, I use NEC (both versions) to get my express service up to 125MPH. I also really like Modern England, this route is amazing! It may not be accurate, but it's good fun to drive, got loads of activities done for it!

I would never remove Modern England, the default routes (always fun to drive along occasionally when you want a change), nor NEC v4, even if I ran out of HDD space, I would keep these routes first and foremost (I only have 2.7GB left out of my 40GB, so I'm soon going to have to consider what I can remove...). I doubt I will ever get rid of some of my trains, I've got a massive stock of them building up now. Nevertheless, I would still delete the old BR diesels (with exception to the Class 50, thats a great one) if necessary. But I would never be able to delete the Intercity trains (I never got a chance to ride on one of these before the TOC's kicked in, so I keep it because it was the the one train that got me into all things trains), nor my DMU's, or for that matter the HST's they're too good!
Project H2P status: Currently awaiting software to fix PC problems. Got a start on .mkr file, hoping to continue that soon. Wprk should re-commence very soon.

There are 68 routes in my route store folder and only ever one in the route folder.

+ 75 ziped routes complete with original download zip and required rolling stock on my backup drive.

Don't delete - get a second hard drive.

At the moment I've only got:

All default routes
London to Brighton
Mid East

Maningtree to Harwich is a favourite of mine too but I've not got round to reinstalling it after my last hard drive tidy up.

London to Brighton is my favourite route at present but my PC is too . to play it properly - I'll be upgrading soon (I hope!)

At moment the Blue Mountains, & all default routes are in stored with Trainstore.

Ready to be used are :
Alpinetransit, Albula line 2, Bala Hub, Heidi Ex, Mersey, Pro.3, GR.2, Cambrian, Semmering, London-Brighton, Unterland & Warrington.

Favourite & most driven routes at the moment are GR.2 Rollbahn, & Cambrian. There is a good mix of acts. on them both.
Pro 3, & LBE. are going to get dropped soon, great looking routes with loads of atmosphere, but LBE's acts have become boring (no shunting), & Pro 3 is acting up due to it not liking X-tracks, I have had some pretty spectacular derailments, then the loco as dropped back on the tracks as if nothing happened.

I'm waiting for "Berlin to Stettin" to drop on my door mat next.

I really think Warrington Railways deserves a big mention here, it's the sole WCML route that's available at the moment. I'm very much looking forward to the extension :) Probably second on my list would be Mideast, and the Ffestioniog.

Cheers

I also have a load of routes zipped up including
Tallyn
