What's the longest algorithm you have in active use?

21 moves:
Nathaniel Knopf's "Gewfro": (R U R' F') (R U R' U) (R U' R' U') (R' F R2 U R' U') (R U' R').
And, of course, the conjugated J-perm alg for Na-perm. I've gotten that down to 1.2ish.

20 moves:
Square-1 O-perms.

19 moves:
Nb-perm: z (U' R2' U) (R U R' F') (R U R' U') (R' F R2 U') (R' U2 R2 U) z'.

18 moves:
E-perm (by Brest and me): F R2 D (R' U' R D') (R' U2 R' U') (R' F' R) (U R U' R').
 
Probably [(M A M' A') (M A' M' A)]·2, where A is (U L U' L')·2 and A' is (U L' U' L)·2. It is for AI 4x4x4 cube :-p

Haven't tried 4D puzzles yet, though.

Haha, nice one. I only thought of mama (but officially it doesn't have a name).
 
the <rU> pure dedge flip (i think it's bens?), 25 HTM

r' U2 r U' r' U r U' r U2 r U2 r' U2 r U2 r2 U' r2 U r U' r U' r'
I know Ben was the first to find this one for the 5x5x5, but Bruce Norskog (cuBerBruce) definitely found all of these 26 move single dedge flips for the 4x4x4 first (sometime in early 2011) using k-solve. (I believe Ben used k-solve to find his 5x5x5 as well as these 4x4x4 algs.) Bruce sent these algs to me by pm, but I later posted them in that thread of mine I provided a link to.

I asked Bruce to find these because he found a <U,Rw> solution to a 3-cycle and posted it in this thread of mine. I soon became interested in <U, Rw, R> single dedge flip algorithms and created my own, and then I became interest in actual <U,r> and <U,Rw> 2-gen solutions. I believe all of my solutions that I posted in that thread are on the 4x4x4 parity algorithms wiki page now (except for my own <U, Rw> algorithms I found by hand before anyone found some with k-solve. See the "Derivation" spoiler in the "2 Gen 2-Cycles" spoiler in this post for my explanation of how I found my own <U, Rw> single dedge flip algorithm before it was known to be possible for such algorithms to exist).

In any case, I'm not sure if you know about my algs (that I found by hand: I explain how I found these in that 2 Gen 2-Cycles spoiler I mentioned above), but the following two are "nearly" in <U,Rw> and can be applied to the nxnxn. (Just move the central slice with all Rw turns on the odd cube.)
r U2 r U r U2 r U2 r' U2 r' U 2R' U' r U2 r U2 r' U2 r' U 2R2 U2 r' U2 r'
r U2 r U' r U2 r U2 r' U2 r' U' 2R' U r U2 r U2 r' U2 r' U' 2R2 U2 r' U2 r'

(R U' R' U')5 for twisting the U supercube composite center 180 degrees.
