Which resolution do you prefer on 15" rMBP?

I'm curious which screen resolutions people are using when not connected to an external monitor.

Does it have to do with readability of text? Do you use a non-scaled resolution for the performance benefit?

I like running at 1680x1050, but I sometimes use 1920x1200 as well.

I ran mine at native/non-scaled, as I do now with my 13" rMBP. I'm fine with the amount of screen space it provides.

Makes me curious what resolution does it natively come with, The Macbook Pro 15" ?

It comes with 1440x900.
1080p is way too small for me on a 15" so I prefer 1440x900, or if I need more room to work I switch to 1680x1050.

I change it depending on what I am doing.

Native resolution for movies, word processing, day to day activities. Higher resolution when working on excel, xcode, iMovie/photos, where screen real estate makes a difference.

Seriously I thought it came with 1920x1200 by default native Resolution.

1440x900 HiDPI is the native resolution on 15" rMBPs.

Without scaling its 2880x1800. I run that resolution sometimes when I'm away from external monitors coding because I can run Xcode and a browser window for reference and see most of both side by side.
