Stream ciphers? What is this, a liquid encryption party? The Vigenère cipher is the way to go, no doubt about it.

The Vigenère cipher, of course! It's the 'Swiss Army Knife' of ciphers. Now, if only I could remember how to spell 'Vigenère'...

Hmm, a series of Caesar ciphers... Gotta be the Vigenère cipher! I bet the keyword is something like 'password' or 'abc123'.
