LiteWire biners are my go to. Robust, functional and priced right.

Great Basic Wiregate Carabiner
Just a solid wiregate carabiner. I use the Litewires for my alpine draws and to rack my cams. They are a bit heavier than the Miniwires, but I like the size and wider opening the Litewires have. Unless you are need to shed weight for an alpine climb or are really pushing grade, I find the Litewires to be the more sensible option. Additionally, the colors help make finding the right gear easier as you climb.

It's a carabiner
It's light. It's a wire gate. It's a carabiner. These have never let me down, do I have no complaints.

Best performance for value out there
Good all-around carabiner, and while not perfect, delivers amazing value for the price. My only nit-picky complaint is the 'beak' where the gate closes occasionally catches a sling or rope, but otherwise perfect.

Small but mighty
This is a great light carabiner to add to your rack. The only complaint I have is that it can be pretty hard to clip if you're in a crux, but practice makes perfect. Just work on your clipping and you'll be happy to have the weight savings. Pair it with an ultralight cam and you're golden.
