Distances (travel): miles Distances (astronomical): kilometers / lightyears. Fabric : feet / yards / ells Building & DIY: feet / inches Most other "everyday" distances: metres Most other small distances: centimetres
And so on... the only imperial measurement on your poll I don't use is Fahrenheit.
Basically, which one I use depends on what I'm using it *for* (and who has taught me that skill).
