Online personal lending shops. They take 30 min tops and pay up to $300 at times. And I get to do it from home lol
Whatever is paying the best at any given time....
Hard work builds character and homework is good for your soul.
I like luxury car shops. The dining shops without the exhaustive narratives are also fun. We are going to a gardening store today for a shop. It's interesting to see the variety of places that get shopped.
Post office shops, goodwill, grocery, certain audits, Haagen-Dazs (when I can snatch 'em), once in a while a FA App, and a few other odds and ends.

I love make up shops, I have gotten free full sized cleansers (2), free high end perfume, free high end day cream and make up. Also had a children high end specialty store shop, where I got to buy and keep the toy! I would do that every year! Anything with free groceries is good too.
My last favorite type of shops are intercept/Credit Cards shops, easy and 25% to 50% of the times the person is not even there so less work. The ironic part is I actually need a new credit card so I am shopping to see which ones are of benefit to me too. Mystery shopping has made me extremely picky but I guess it is the nature of this industry.

They are paying $70 for a Target card. Most credit cards have a sign on bonus. My best card is the citi double cash, which gives you 2% on everything. If you eat out often for shops, the uber card does 4% cash back for dining and 3% for travel. Those are the main cards that I use.
My favorite are phone or internet shops where I either make a simple phone call that lasts about 30 seconds or the ones where I interacted with someone over the web for technical help. I love doing these at home. No travel, gas or being stuck in traffic.
Whatever is paying best to be honest. Really like the shops that i can maximize what i get out of my time. Like with grocery stores and gas stations i can get some groceries i need as well as gas, and get reimbursed for it 
Restaurants where I love the food,grocery shops, upscale retail, Las Vegas airport shops, easy big box, oil change, cosmetics and new homes.
Live consciously....
Fine dining, selective retail and a few high paying bank shops here and there when available and convenient to me. I find I am doing less and less due to time and effort required. I don't do this for money. I will not do audits, $10-15 shops, gas stations, grocery, storage, car/auto (no matter how much they pay), fast food, purchase and return, phone, etc.
I do mostly gas station shops, as those are abundant and if one takes a rural route can make me good money. I would like to do more family-friendly restaurant shops.
Upscale Resorts followed by business hotels followed by lodgings in unique places like National Parks.
I like the retail reimbursement shops. I've picked up some nice cosmetics, leather goods, and footwear.
I like convenience stores (discounted/free beer), and the oil changes are good for my whole family. My wife and I get date nights at the casino shops, so those are nice too!
Integrity shops. I have a nice little deal that pays for travel (for 2) and reimburses the hotel (with no report) just to do integrity shops at the hotel.
I also like free gasoline, fast food (not JITB - barf), coffee, and shipping. Easy reports and stuff that I need.

Alcohol and tobacco compliance shops. Takes only a few minutes to complete shop and submit the reports for a good pay.

Oh to be that young again. I enjoy the WaWA shops. Quick, easy, free sub for lunch, + $5-$7 pay.
