I'll rarely use all types from all packages in the same place when
possible, because I want to leave that to the dispatching mechanism. :-)
So this is not the most frequent case.
That aside, I'm fond of plural/singular because of locality
of reference: "Object" doesn't say much compared to "Triangle",
and forces some form of qualification if you don't want to bother
your readers with doing the lookup themselves.
OTOH, in Ada 2005, we won't need so many "use"s
because of distinguished receiver notation...
