What hook pattern are people using?

I'm not sure on the pattern I'm using but I feel I need to be using something with a wider gape

Something with an out turned eye, like a chod hook or Drennan continental boilie hook would be my choice.

I use a chod hook with stiffer material and a wide gape for the softer stuff .

I use the mugga for the flouro d rig, the way the hook sits naturally sits very aggressively.

Longshank pattern works well with the original D-Rig.

Depends on the material. I use wide gapes with braid and chod hooks with fluro. I find the hook sits far too aggressively with an inturned eye and fluro, it also adds an unnecessary stress point where the line exits the hook.
