    I'm partial to base 36

    • "10" is a square that's also the product of two squares, 4 and 9

    • highly divisible, being able to simply express halves, thirds, quarters, sixths, and ninths, also twelfths and eighteenths but those are less common portions in daily use

    • you can represent it as [0 - Z], as in "…8, 9, A, B, C…", it's literally achieved by just adding the alphabet to the numeral system.
