Apr 14, 2016 at 10:53 comment added Vince O'Sullivan Not "de facto". It strongly implies the "only" choice whereas "go to" implies the first choice.

Apr 12, 2016 at 15:47 comment added Esteban Thanks @JohnClifford, I think de facto does fit really nicely!
Apr 12, 2016 at 15:41 comment added cobaltduck Do you like favored or any of its synonyms?
Apr 12, 2016 at 15:34 comment added John Clifford One I see quite often (though I won't post as an answer because I'm not 100% sure it has the connotation you're after) is de facto: ​existing in ​fact, ​although ​perhaps not ​intended, ​legal, or ​accepted - "Jet skis are the de facto watercraft for exhilarating beach entertainment."
