Its all personal preference but the US has a large hop growing region and I would have to say the #1 most used American hops would be the following. Not all are from the US though.

1. Cascade
2. Centennial
3. Citra
4. Meridian(rare hop that I specifically use in my IPA)
5. Northern Brewer ( Hop used in Anchor Steam Beer/California Common/Lagers.
6. US Fuggles
7. East Kent Goldings
8. Motueka
9. Saaz
10. Liberty(lager Hop, Spicy Herbal qualities good in Mexican Style Vienna Lagers)
 
The last survey from the Brewer's Association from 2016 had the following hops listed from most popular on down:

1  Cascade
2  Centennial
3  Chinook
4  Simcoe
5  Citra
6  Hallertau Mittelfruh (GR)
7  Amarillo
8  Crystal
9  Magnum (GR)
10  CTZ (Columbus/Tomahawk/Zeus)

Ever had a Sam Adams Boston Lager? That's Hallertau Mittelfruh.

The Hallertau Region of Growers makes an annual trip to the US for the Craft Brewer's Conference. They hold a brewer's reception where the have samples out of the various strains, new and old. This has created a lot of renewed interest in old world hops.

BTW, Magnum and Crystal are variations on Hallertau Mittelfruh. Hersbrucker is a Mittelfruh and Saaz triploid, which was bred as a replacement for Mittelfruh due to disease issues.
