What do I put on my hot dog? Nothing, if I'm holding one it means I'm looking for a way to trade it for something better.
But look on the bright side...they're also really, really bad for you:
~87% pure fat.
I mean, of the 57g, I see 13g fat, 3g carb and 7g protein, totaling 23g. So the remaining 34g is probably mostly water.
Still, nowhere near 87% fat - more like 23% by my calc (13g/57g serving).
Not trying to say they are healthy, but the bun you're eating with it may be worse.
Mustard.
Sometimes mustard and onions.
Sometimes a good oil and vinegar cole slaw, as I first experienced racing in N. Carolina
And before y'all get pissy about cole slaw, what you call sauerkraut is raw and it's not meant to be eaten that way.
Being from the Toledo area, it has to be Tony Packo's chilli sauce, with some diced onion and maybe a bit of shredded cheddar.

Cornbread.
Oh, heck yeah, then I want spicey mustard.

I'm guessing using the top of the label where it says 150 calories, 130 calories from fat. Fat, protein, carbs all have different amounts of calories per gram, IIRC.
Every topping available to kill the taste of the lips and shiny happy people, beaks and toenails.
For sure, ketchup, because it pisses hot dog people off so very badly.

It's gotta have mustard, preferably spicy brown. Definitely no ketchup. I'm usually too impatient to do anything else, but if I remember and it's right in front of me any combination of onions, pickle relish, and sauerkraut are welcome additions.
Exactly this. Brown mustard, yellow will do if that is all there is, and if there is time then some garlic or diced onion or garlic and diced onion.
I usually eat the sauerkraut before the fork manages to put it on anything, strange how that always happens

You have been away for too long! It is hot dog sauce 
Ketchup, mustard, relish, onions, whatever is available.
Love Detroit Cony's, but I can live with anything.

Yeah, I knew that, but typed "chilli" for some reason.

You spelled "Bratwurst" wrong--I'm from Milwaukee.
Just telling a guy last Sunday; there is no bratwurst better than the one the Lutheran church cooks early (like 8:30am) at Road America's corner #14.
Johnsonville bratwurst, yellow mustard, chopped onions and cold German sauerkraut on top.
It's eaten as you stand there during an early practice by the fence watching the Trans Am cars slide through the corner. If you're in your 20's you're also drinking a PBR, Miller, Old Style or a Blatz beer.
Cloverdale smoked brats with onions, ketchup, and horseradish.

Detroit-style coney or GTFO.
Yup. Preferably with onion strong enough to still taste it the next day 
Usually spicy brown mustard, raw diced onions and kraut.
Also, kosher dogs, if possible.

They still sell Blatz? I don't think I've see that in 30 years...
As to the original question brown mustard, pickle relish & diced onions are the norm, but I'll try the specialty wherever I'm at.

Sorry - I tend to live in the past.
Blatz and the Lutheran church ladies are gone and the Trans Am cars only show up at the vintage races.
Blatz was E36 M3 beer - we only drank it cause we were 18 YO and the drinking age was 21 YO and our older friend stocked it in his fridge.
Anyone else concerned you get a Coney in Michigan and you get a Michigan in New England (the sauces are different)? And if you're in Coney Island it's sauerkraut?
Ketchup? Sure
Mustard? Sure, whatever's on hand.
Onions? Check
Relish? Okay.
Hot sauce? Why not!

Oh, I know Blatz was E36 M3. It was $0.99 a 6 pack when I was in high school & I could legally buy beer before graduating from HS. I was just curious if it was still available somewhere to get as a joke on my HS buddies. Some of them need a little E36 M3 in their lives.

I still see it around here. Pretty sure Miller brews it for Pabst, who owns the name.
Spicy mustard, grilled onions, maybe a touch of relish.
Go Jays Go!
No ketchup unless you're under 6 years old
Mustard and relish at the ballpark
Flo's relish, mayo, and celery salt when in Cape Neddick, ME (don't knock it till you tried it)
Any ammount of ketchup or mustard is too much.
i do mayo, chilli, cheese.

You try to bring 'em up right...

I came into this thread thinking "Don't condiment shame, don't dondiment shame, don't condiment shame..." but come on man. What are you Hawkeye's wife with the mayo over here?
But, yeah, I think the real answer is unless it's a good brat or an exotic sausage, a hot dog is a canvas to be painted with condiments.
Slaw dog? Bring it
Ketchup? Okay I'll allow it in a pinch, but German curry ketchup? Oh yeah, have at it.
Cream cheese, bacon and caramelized jalapeno? Yep.
Kimchi? It's just Asian sauerkraut, right? Load it up.
Baked beans? Sure! It's like pork n beans, but with a handle!
