My guess would be:
- Train tracks
- Rock004
- Tree pine extrasmall
I graphed out how many times each texture is used! The answers won't surprise you!
- Thread starter hutty
- Start date
My guess would be:

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) dat rock005 though.
Also I think its a very popular prop in badwater and in maps like it.
My guess is that lighting fixtures will be the most popular. I'll take a crack at modifying the code to find out.
EDIT:
rock005 placed 258th.
Full data
(Note that I cut materials/Sprites/light_glow03 from the list, which appeared 2372 times. I'm not sure how it showed up in the first place.)

I'm genuinely surprised that the oildrum prop is first. I assume that's because nothing else in the game is the same thing, if you get me - everything else has a couple of versions (light_cone_farm_32 and light_cone_farm, miningcrate002 and miningcrate001, both pairs of which are together more common). Same with the groundlight. What's impressive, given that, is the handrail - theres lots of other lengths and styles of handrail, and they're less common, but that one's still top.
Interesting you thought a texture added after the game's launch would be #1 @hutty. wood/wood_floor002 and wood/wall007a both came considerably after the game's launch.
Interesting too that the Hydro barrel crate has become so widely used after its addition in Gorge (Correct me if it was added earlier?)

Both are in the same update. I could have sworn that the prop was in use earlier - I was going to make a snarky comment like "did you guys not read the filename" - but I can't actually find any uses of it. It's genuinely disconcerting to think that it wasn't in any previous maps - I keep going "wait, badlands doesn't have it?... nucleus doesn't have it?"
That update was, however, six years ago, almost exactly a third of the way through tf2's lifecycle. It's been in the game for twice as long - and about twice as many maps - as it was out of it.
It's funny. I've been thinking of the hydro crate (added before i started) as "old", the newer Mann Co mvm version (released in 2012) as "too new and wierd", and the swamp and manor stuff (released just after i started in 2010) as "new and cool."
“I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”

I guess that means TF2's Start-to-Crate time was two years and two months.
