How much removal do you actually run?

I am fundamentally a combo/control player so I am very biased in this discussion. I like 'this wins on resolution' style wincons and I run sufficient removal and interaction to protect those wincons, remove pieces that jeopardize my wincons resolving or protect my draw engines/disruption pieces. Naturally, this means I run quite a bit of removal (10-15 pieces minimum with almost all at instant speed) and I noticed that I wind up policing the table quite a bit in games. I'm usually in this weird situation where I am simultaneously policing the table (counter rhystic on T2-3 with [[An Offer You Can't Refuse]] or [[Swan Song]]) and also the 'problem' at the table (shooting for a combo win on T8 or so).

So, how much removal does everyone run? What kind of traits do you look for in removal? What kind of stuff do you prioritize/prefer?
