Which process of proposal and ratification has been used most often in the US Constitution. Which has never been used. Any ideas why?

The process of amendment proposal used most often concerning the US Constitution is where a bill first has to pass through both Houses and then the states to be approved (or denied). There is another method mentioned in the Constitution, but it has never been used before. In this method, a Constitutional Convention would be called in order to propose the amendment, and afterwards the amendment is sent on to the States for approval. The two processes of ratification are: -Proposal receives a 2/3 majority vote from Congress -Proposal receives a 3/4 majority vote from the State I'm not sure which is most used or why.
