I haven't found the perfect one yet, so I use a combination of several.
Notebooks for tasks related to personal projects. Task management is nothing more than an afterthought in Notebooks, but in that context it works for me because of the other advantages of Notebooks (nice interface to type notes, and the possibility of adding attachments and organizing stuff in folders).
Priorities for non project related tasks. This app is especially good at managing recurring tasks, with options such as the choice of starting the next task from the due date of the previous one (e.g. get signed timesheet from client), or from the completion date of the pervious one (e.g. change contact lenses).
Paperless for shopping lists, mostly groceries, because an item doesn't disappear when you check it off and you can reactivate it next time you need to buy it, plus its very simple interface is perfect for walking around in the shop checking things off.
Lately I've learned about the four quadrant method (classify tasks in a four cell matrix according to how critical and urgent they are), which sounds great, and trying to find an app that will use that, but I haven't found a good one yet. ERIC is a free one that seems promising but the interface needs some work. Priority Matrix has more functionalities but some big interface flaws.
