I like to leave my primary fenders attached in my dock slip so I never have to worry about them. I keep a few of the Ronix inflatable fenders for tying up to others, getting gas, going to restaurants, etc. Inflating them is really easy and they take almost no space when deflated.
Hoppy balls from Amazon. Like 7$ and work great.
I have mine tied to the bungee at approximately 1/3 of the length.
I have some regular fenders and I have 2 impact fenders. The impact fenders are nice in a tie up setting hut I typically never tie up to people if I don’t have to. Docking if I’m not using my lift I use a combo of over side traditional style fenders and my impact fenders. The big balls are nice but I don’t like storing them.

I have some Taylor Fenders for the shitty public docks that are typically torn-up by the end of the season. They are pretty tough.
Boat-to-Boat I have the Let's Tie Up and probably a few Exile Buoy Balls someone gave me. Have a few pumps too, battery and cig lighter.
I have mooring bouys attached to the side of my dock.
Thanks for all the responses. Getting our first boat is both exciting and terrifying at the same time.
I have the Mission fenders. I stow them under the sliding rear bench or in the bow under the playpen cusion while out on the water and they don't interfere with anything.
4 boats, 14 years of boating and only ever owned the 4x16 taylor fenders. kept 3 on the boats. worked great and never had to hassle with blowing them up.
I will say tho that the couple times I tied up, I was glad boater4life had blow up hippityhops as they worked great but if you don't own your own dock nor tie up much, the taylors work great 99% of the time.
