Fancy sauce is the only way to go and that consists of ketchup and mayo stirred together. Nothing more and nothing less.
Missing pickles from the options. Pickles are essential for me on a burger.
As important, on the side dish front, I have come to discover that the only french fries worth a damn are those cooked in beef tallow, at Pure Eats,
Cheese obviously
Bacon if available
GOOD tomato (heirloom, local, etc) only
BBQ sauce as condiment. Ketchup and yellow mustard are gross.
Dill pickle chips if available
Sometimes onions, but only grilled or cooked down. No raw onions.
Sometimes lettuce, but only something good like a leaf or 2 of quality butter lettuce.

Depends. If I want a Swiss mushroom burger, some ketchup and mustard. If I want one with garden fresh tomatoes, a little mayo, slice of cheese and sautéed onions. Always served medium (I love it a little pink).
I believe jimmy buffet was on to something, and I I like mine with bacon too, and I wouldn’t kick it out of bed for eating crackers if it had mayo.
Wet condiments, depends on the day.
sometimes, ketchup.

If you like burgers, this can become a good friend... By George Motz, Hamburger Scholar.... You haven't lived until you have mastered the Oklahoma onion burger.
@NorthernHawkeye how do you like your burgers? You’re a relatable, man of the people who clearly enjoys a night out with friends and family for a nice burger and a few beers.
Mayo and Dijon?

Regular burger= mustard, ketchup, dill pickles and onion
Bacon cheeseburger, add bacon and Swiss cheese.
Everything burger, all of the above plus Iceberg lettuce and tomato slice.

Typically keep it simple with ketchup, spicy mustard, cheese-sharp cheddar or American. Real American cheese, not that sh*t "cheese product" Kraft singles nonsense. I prefer a thicker patty well seasoned with SPGO.
Grilled onions and bacon if I'm feeling fancy.

This. If you have a good bun and good meat, you don’t want to dilute the taste.
Can we ban shredded lettuce please? It just turns into the worlds shittiest cole slaw when applied.
American cheese
Bacon
Ketchup/mayo combo or I make my own Big Mac sauce.

At home, just the basics but definitely prefer BBQ sauce to ketchup.
But I really like a peanut butter / jelly with bacon and cheese when out if it's an option.

No lettuce at all. Especially iceberg.
I will do arugula on a mushroom Swiss burger.
Mayo, mustard, cheese, tomato, onion (raw or sauteed - keep those fried onion straws the hell away from my food).
I will never put fruit sauce on my own burger - I mean ketchup, but I will eat it if it is served that way to me.
I do like a good BBQ bacon burger with sauce, cheddar, bacon and tomato.
Mushroom, Swiss, and mayo is another great combo.
Medium rare to just under medium. Any further and you're an a-hole.

Some say that Cheeseburger in Paradise was inspired by Buffet's visit to Cabbage Key. The bar/restaurant there is typical Key West style with signed dollar bills hanging on the walls including one signed by Buffet. It's a neat place but the cheeseburgers are only average IMO.
You eat burgers medium rare? E. coli is a real thing. You can only safely eat steaks that way because any E. coli on the exterior isn’t ground into the meat and killed while cooking.
I also eat beef/bison/venison tartare. And sushi. Some things are worth the risk.
Tartar you can clean/sear the outside before chopping. If the venison is hunted I don’t think I’d trust that the deer didn’t have some kind of parasite…. You did give me an idea though. I just did brats sous vide before grilling to get them as juicy as possible before searing. I think I might sous vide some of the burgers I’m going to grill tonight to pasteurize them so I can cook them medium rare…
Mayo, small amount yellow mustard, crispy bacon, thick cut tomato slice, and Swiss or cheddar cheese.
Basic stuff lettuce onion pickle a little mayo. Blue cheese is my splurge.
Dont like bacon on my burger.

I beer boil my brats beforehand if I have the time. Slice up an onion, toss in some garlic and mustard powder. Slow cook them so all you have to do is char the crap out of them on the grill.
The extra bonus, besides the super juicy and beer flavored brats, is that your house smells like a brewery for a day or two.
I always do this before big parties to make sure the brats are cooked through while I grill and socialize.
Sous vide cooks the brats in their own juices whereas I have found and read that simmering them in beer leeches the flavor out. But they are going to taste at least good no matter what.
Depending on the time of year, lettuce and/or spinach out of the yard and a big slab of backyard tomato or vinegar slaw and bbq sauce.
