The OP didn't ask for recommendations. He asked what "you all like". If I was making recommendations then it would be much more than a pull weight.
First of all, "doing my first trigger job" should not actually mean "doing" because that IS dangerous. Buying or installing is one thing "doing a trigger job" is another thing all together. So, my advice to the OP about doing a trigger job is simple: don't. Unless you're being trained by a professional and, if that's the case, then the professional can help you with the proper pull weight. If what the OP means is installing a new trigger then my advice is to buy a Jard trigger and spend the extra $15 on 3 extra springs and try them all until you get one you like. That way you can have 2 1/2, 2, 1 1/2 and one pound triggers, all for about $100.
(No hard feelings on my end either. I appreciate an opinionated yet civil discussion.
