You've reminded me I should donate again, its been a while... though one small correction, O- is not the most common at all. It makes up under ~10% of the population as a rule: https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/blood-types

O-type is O- and O+. That's a hyphen, not a negative sign.

O- is definitely the most valuable, since it can be given to anyone. But O+ isn't far behind, since it can give to all the positive types, which is 86% of people, according to your source.
