Interesting and curiously asked questions. Some, maybe a lot of us, through trial and error, get a way and get somewhat set in it. We find out what works for us.
Over the past fifty years when I caught the bug, I've had a Rolleiflex, five Nikon film cameras, three Nikon digitals, a Leica film camera with nine of its lenses, a Bronica, a Hasselblad, and probably a few I'm forgetting. I did interchange them depending on what I was shooting.
I loved shooting everything from people to objects to bugs, to architecture, etc. and even though I make my living with architecture and interior design now, I still love photographing anything that is interesting to me.
I got rid of all my film cameras in 2005 when I went completely digital. I loved film and fought against going away from it when the tides started turning. However, I realized that if you started using Photoshop and moved away from your darkroom, and most of the labs out there were starting to do everything digitally anyway, you were no longer "pure." That didn't make sense to me. I sold everything and went whole hog into Canon with their 1Ds MK II. Now, there would be no sense in switching around anymore since there are too many lenses involved.
I've gone through six digital Canons and always keep at least two for professional reasons.
Therefore, I would have to say that Canon is my favorite. Besides its great performance and superb lenses, Canon's technical support is phenomenal.
Keep in mind, as you probably already know, the lens is more important than the camera and the mind of the photographer is the most important of all. I've known people who do consistently incredible work with iPhones and point and shoots and could probably excel using a home made contraption made of things they found around their homes.
Yes, I would find a way to show my work here as well as social media spots, a personal website, local venues and everywhere in between.
Much inspiration, satisfaction and gratification comes from sharing work with others and helping each other learn. None of us know everything.
