What is most common in the Chabad community.
I am in the NY area for reference.

Multiples of 18.
26 is primarily Sephardic.

I know, but I know they daven nussach AriZal, as opposed to Askenaz, which has many roots stemming from Sephardi practices and insights from Kabbalah, which is where the number for gift of 26 is founded.
