DIY PVC and Glue

Quick question for all the DIY's when making your connections with PVC and\or acrylic pieces what kind of glue did you use and what glues to avoid?

I used yellow container of pvc cleaner and black container of glue. I think you can use any of it. I've seen people use the purple primer instead of cleaner.

I use the Oatey purple primer and solvent, the solvent melts the plastic together, avoid silicone.
