Mankind is in B standard, Erasmus is in B standard (but i never play a low B.....so it's technically standard tuning). Sometimes mankind will go to drop A.....we have to play with very thick strings.

Standard Tunings I use (two of my guitars are always tuned to Eb and one is always in E standard. I don't use drop tunings, just variations of standard tunings.)

My guitar stays in B most of the time. I tune it up to C for some stuff but not too often.

We tune a half-step down from standard (Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb), or we do Drop-Db (Db,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb).

When Benevolence started out we were in G# As the years progressed we sped up our material and tuned up accordingly, currently in C standard, might make a push to tune down a little, we'll see.

Acadiana plays in drop C, and I usually keep my guitar in that tuning as to not throw the intonation off.

My 'lectric is in D-standard right now, although it was in Drop-C earlier today. I normally play in D. My classical is in DADFAD, although I sometimes like to go to BEBEBE with it. I've written some stuff in B-fully-diminished-7 (BFBFG#D) and G-minor-7 (BbGDFBbD). Tuning to open chords like those are really good for playing with harmonics.

Ummm...you do realize that there is no "Fb"?...that's called "E"...

Probably a typing error, but just thought I'd clarify.

i typically play in drop C, but only with a reliable licensed floyd rose. without one you'll never stay in tune down that low for very long especially with all the whammy bar action and dive bombs i do.
