what FET are you using today?

[maxdm]

I've noticed that it's very hard to find FETs these days, given that many of the ones used in the past are discontinued.

Which ones are your go-to for things like phaser  and compressor, variable resistors, as well as for amplification?

Here is a list of what is currently in production at Onsemi:

I usually stick with J112 and J113. In production in TO92 packages, cheap, usually easy to get and have fairly tight specs compared to most commonly used 2N... or BF... types. They are intended as switches, however, which means that they have a much lower on resistance than, say, a 2N5457. So for use as a variable resistor, you may need to adjust the impedance of the surrounding circuitry for optimum performance.

I still have a small stash of J201s I bought from the forum store about a dozen years ago. I'm more into BJTs lately, though (I like their nonlinearities better), so that'll last me a while.

Well, I'd like to recommend BF510...BF513 n-channel FETs.
As per my experince they are stable, very predictable, tolerant, low-noise, etc etc.

2N3819 or 2SK34.

9 more than a 201, the J210.

I bought a bag of LND150s a while ago and have had some nice results with them.

MMBF5457 and MMBFJ201. Bought a roll of 1000 each a while ago, that's more than a life-time supply for me. I do mainly my own PCB layouts and don't mind hand soldering them, although it's annoying to drop one since it's pointless to even try to start looking for it.

how about adressing the individual CMOS FET's in a CD4007?
they are closely matched and save the hassle of individual transistors.
any non-buffered cmos inverter can be used as variable resistance to ground if you not connect the VCC

SMD all the way! The MMBFs rockola mentioned are great! Also TO-92 adapters exist for the purpose of your breadboard
