There's this uniquely Canadian thing called "Poutine". When it's good, it's wonderful, but all the fast-food-chain versions are abominable.
When it's great, it's hand-cut russet potatoes fried in peanut oil, dowsed, while hot, with a demi-glace made from a nice haunch of beef and tossed with fresh cheddar curds. The heat from the fries melts the cheese curd, you toss again to distribute the concentrated beef flavour and then you get stuck in.
The strip-mall fast-food version is synthetic beef gravy and process cheese tossed with frozen potato sticks fried in dubious fat.
Our local serves something called "chile fries", consisting of a basket of french fries, topped with chile (the canned red kidney beans and hamburger kind) as well as sour cream, jalapeño pepper rings, tomato salsa and shredded, no-name cheese. It's not as revolting as it sounds if you've had a few.

salt and vinegar, then with extra salt and vinegar, and depending where I am, some chilli sauce on top - oh yeaaaaaaaaah 
Do you put the salt or vinegar on first?salt and vinegar, then with extra salt and vinegar, and depending where I am, some chilli sauce on top - oh yeaaaaaaaaah
I am pretty flexible on the chip toppings but ALWAYS have salt THEN vinegar regardless.
Gravy is usually my preferred option ahead of curry sauce.
Sauce can be brown, ketchup or very occasionally mayo. Drizzle of chilli sauce is often welcome.
Cheese occasionally. Quite like chunks of raw red onion with cheese and gravy.

Salt and vinegar always.
Often with tomato ketchup.
Sometimes garlic mayonnaise.
Occasionally curry sauce.
Rarely melted cheese with jalapeno peppers.(This is great if the chips are skinny crispy ones)

Lately I have taken to a mixture of ketchup, mayonnaise and sriracha

I believe vinegar on chips is confined to these Isles (Australia and New Zealand excepted). Have people witnessed this behaviour in other countries?

This is fine
That’s what I put in my burgers. About 50% mayo, 30% ketchup and 20% sriracha smothered on the bun top and bottom. Lovely stuff.

it varies
S&V are a great addition, especially if eating them outdoors - lovely smell
Salad Cream is making one helluva comeback in my life - on chips/fries and on scrambled eggs
Recently have become a big fan of Sriracha Mayo on chips and things

Just salt & vinegar.

Bringing YOU round.....
Salt and vinegar and either curry sauce and ketchup or salt and vinegar and ketchup and mayonnaise.
But I'm not that keen on chips.

That's one of the stangest things I've ever had on chips. I mean, wtf? It doesn't taste particularly nice; it's ok, but, meh, and makes your chips soggy.

She does like chips again though, so can stay

Given this is an eleven years bump you might be being a bit optimistic expecting a reply. (crustychick hasn't been on the boards since January this year)
My favourite is a samurai sauce. But I have make my own so usually I have salt and apple vinegar, in the UK it'd be malt vinegar.

I'll ask YouGull to run a survey and report back.
