It usually depends on what you want to do. For genetic researches, the fruit fly(Drosophila melanogaster) is most commonly used due to its fast breeding rate and easy availability. If you want to study anatomy or test the effects of any drug, then rats are the most commonly used vertebrates.

For me, I would say the fetal pig. I don't know how many of those I dissected in school...at least six. Way more than anything else.
