Favorite civs for a Non-Cultural win?

You can vote for as many as you want.

Title says it all, which civs do you like the most or feel are the most powerful for an open non-Cultural game, such as domination or space race?

I'm only a Prince level player at this point but I've enjoyed two or three fantastic "zerg" games with Germany, with enough luck it feels very overpowered to get all those decent military units early and take two or three opponents early.

I do enjoy Japan's ability to pull back from the brink of defeat though

Japan, only because I got my first domination win on Prince with them.

Seemed much too easy though. Take out a civ's capital, maybe one or two cities more before they come begging for peace. Move on to the next civ. Rinse and repeat.

Will try it on a more difficult level I think.
