Trying to go through all the aircraft I have been on in the last 20 odd years proved too hard to check because its basically every Boeing and Airbus aircraft in service during that period apart from the newish A380 and 787. Also lots of smaller turbo props and regional European jets like most of Air UK's Fokker fleet. Quite a few TriStar's in the late 80's. As for airlines I've been on all sorts, not really stuck to one carrier.
And I still don't like flying much!

747-The one that gets you from LA to Sydney (500?)
MD Super 80
Cessna 182
Embrarer EMB120 (Does not accomodate people taller than 5' 11" very well. Avoid Skywest Airlines)
Dash 8 (Surprisingly quick)
Boeing 737-400
Eurocopter 135 Medical (w/ My Grandfather)
Some sort of 2-seat, enclosed Sport-light aircraft. It had a Parachute pullcord for the whole plane. I actually got to fly it, thanks to me telling the dude I had about 400 hours on Flight Simulator X

You think the Dash-8 is bad, try one of these babies on a wing seat in the snow.
Longest short flight ever!

So far,
Airbus: A330-340 (Philippine Airlines) and A380 (Singapore Airlines)
Boeing: 737 (Philippine Airlines) and 747 (also PAL and Cathay Pacific)
Although, I am always in the Economy Class or, in PAL, Fiesta Class.
PAL is rubbish, unless youre flying in their 747 which has in flight entertainment on each seat 👍
I've flown in 777's and A330's way toooo many times to count (Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Saudia, PAL, Qantas..etc etc)
Flown in 747's a bunch of times too but not as much as 777's and A330's.
Been in an A380 twice (Qantas Sydney - LA)

Dash 8 rides just droNe droNe droNe droNe droNe droNe on and on; that propeller sound will wear on your after a while. Still, it's a neat throwback to the old days of flying...no jetway - you get to approach the plane instead of injecting yourself into it, you can see the engine start up, you see the wheels land on the ground. There's a bit more of a connection to the plane, although the repetitive sound is a deal-breaker.

I can't remember much, but I remember the only 2 flights I've been on is in a Boeing (I mean 2 different models of Boeing 
)
(And it's JAL, if you want to know)

EMB 120's are smaller...
And while the Dash 8 has some sort of sound deadening, the people at Embrarer didnt even bother. It is horrid. You can barely sit down.

Just flew to new york and back. 777-300er outward, 747-400 inbound.
777-300er was the newest plane in the British Airways fleet, very nice interior, brilliant inflight entertainment with over 1500 tv programmes or films, and a supprising amount of leg room for economy, food was nice aswell. Flight was very smooth, but had to sit on the tarmac at JFK for 30mins as the plane in our parking had decided not to leave on time.
US immigration was crap, 4 desks empty for US citizens of which there were 5 of on the flight. Only 1 desk for non US, and this had to cope with the our plane and a 747 from tokyo. 2 hours waiting in a boiling hot terminal.
Flight back was delayed by 40mins because of storms the day before causing domino delays. This time it was an older 747. Interior was ok, smaller screen, slightly less leg room, however wasn't bad atall. Had a 20min wait for the queue on the runway. Once in the air however we bombed it across the atlantic and arrived in england only 20mins late, had a nice chicken curry for dinner. We flew from bristol alongside the m3, which meant I got to see Castle Combe race track, my village and my house from in the air and then the Mclaren F1 factory. We then had to do some circling which we did over kent for some reason. Finally landing 40mins late, we pulled up to the main terminal 5 building which is unusual for long haul planes, off the plane, straight through security and back to our car within 45mins.
Overall all pretty good.
