Positional: Hiarcs 7.32 and  5 points behind H7.0 (by a large margin over the
rest)
Endgame: Tiger 11.4 tied with Shredder 3, ahead of Genius 5/6.

BTW, my personal favourites from actual game observations:

Positional: Hiarcs 7.32/7.0, Tiger 11.5, CM 5555
Tactical: Fritz 5.32, CM 5555
Endgame: Rebel 10, Hiarcs 7.32, Shredder 3

Nimzo 99a also looks like it would fit well in the positional part, but I don't
have enough games to be sure.
