Who does it and who does not do it?

I know there is no benefit for commonality but i find it easier to say all routes above 20 million pax will be operated by an MD-90-55. The reason i ask is because in all the worlds i've been in (about 10) many airlines have 10+ different AC but only 1-2 of each.

In a way I do. I choose it based on range. I'll choose a distance from my hub and then choose a plane that easily meets my starget range and passenger amount needs. I do tend to change up later on... ( Like if I'm hubbed at Dallas Love, I'll change to bigger planes to DFW, IAH, HOU and surrounding big airports. )

How ever I don't tend to do things like Southwest. I may use 3-4 different brands, but stick with those types. I really wish though there would be added benefits for things like this.

Yeah kinda do that too. In Europe use short range turboprops (ATR) and medium range medium capacity Fokker 100s. I find that Europe is not the best place to use large capacity jets. Maybe some mx cost break for commonality. it has been suggested before but it seems to complicated to write into the game, i don't know how program but just seems like it would have loopholes or something in it.
