I have to say Orion. In some sense it's probably one of, if not the, most popular choices (which irks me; what can I say, I prefer to be different). It is probably the easiest one to make out, and has some interesting features (two pretty bright stars, a bright and famous nebula).
But for me, my reason is just personal history. One of my earliest memories is that one Christmas I got a glow-in-the-dark constellation book (I probably still have it somewhere), and of course one of the constellations in it was Orion. So, I went just outside and there, right in front of me was Orion. I couldn't have been older than five or six, and the image of Orion on that cold night has stuck with me and motivated me ever since (I'm currently in graduate school hoping to study astrophysics).

Draco's definitely in my top... my Chinese Zodiac sign is the Dragon, so I'm a dork like that. Aside from that, Orion has had a huge silent part in my life. A friend of mine revealed his name "Rion" was taken from the constellation after I mentioned that we gave my son Orion as his middle name.
Oh, and for some reason, I'm enamorated by the "Wine Glass".

Orion is my favorite constelation, I use to watch the sky many times at night, I like watching the Orion's belt with its huge three main stars. It would be spectacular if we could travel until those stars, but they are too far even if we could travel at the light speed.

Must be Orion,
It is so easy to see, and everyone can recall seeing 'a line of three stars'
If you have binoculars, you can even see the Orion Nebular, and long exposure photos, bring out the amazing red color.

I love Delphinus. One of the prettiest little constellations in the sky, and always gives a delightful view with binoculars.

My favorite by far is Orion. It can be seen readily, it has Betelguese and Rigel which are really cool stars and it is close to Gemini which have cool stars (Pollux and Castor).
