I use At A Glance brand. I get an 8.5 x 11 size. I buy the same style each year because it already has my system. It has the big month and then daily with lines. Its split with half the day for timed things and half for to do list.
I have never heard of Hobonichi - but googling it now. I love organization.
I also have a fridge calendar that has each persons things and the menu for the day.

ETA: And nope, nope, nope. I do not need or want to sticker my planner like that.
I am already stressed out looking at it. Plus I think I have more things in a day that will fit.
I do have stickers on the fridge calendar. Little soccer balls for soccer practice and bigger ones for games. Little running guy for track. Thursday has the Four Leaf Holiday one. Any meetings for work or working outside of my regular job has a blue stethoscope.
Anyway, I do use color and stickers for the fridge but its meant to give you an idea of the day and its for everyone and its on display.
I have no need or desire for my personal one. Just the facts ma'am. My journal is pretty plain like that too. Mostly just writing. Im not much of a sticker person BUT I would do it in my journal before my planner.
I could see why my style planner might be too boring or too rigid or too whatever and the stickers help it be more fun and create success in using a planner.
