I've always been partial to Saturn; mainly because of the rings, the moons, and the overall *mystery* that this planet has held for me since childhood.
Okay, who's next?

I too favor Saturn. Because of the rings. It just looks really cool, and unique. And they're made up of millions of ice/dust particles. It adds to the intrigue, for me, the way they look like solid, single rings, from a distance, and up close, it would be more like a random assortment of rocks. I think if I could choose to be anywhere in the universe, ignoring the laws of physics (that is, wouldn't have to worry about breathing, freezing, etc.), I'd like to be on Saturn's largest moon, Titan. To look at Saturn, looming almost ominously in the sky above.

Jupiter. The majesty of the planet, the massive storms, the guardian of the solar system, and now the possibility of up to 3 moons with life. It makes the other planets look like pebbles.
Close second is Pluto, even though it's no long a planet, technically. Something about Pluto and Charon out there in the middle of nowhere is pretty cool.

Great question...I favor the earth mostly because when God created all the solar system [that we know of, but there are more we cannot get to for his own reasons], he created it in a way that would sustain us human beings here in the earth where we live each day. What's so interesting about the earth when he made it is that it contains the perfect balance of gases, minerals, plants, gravity, nutrition, etc., that we need to sustain us here including the warmth & light from the sun during the day, and moon & what it generates during the night...all while taking sequence in other parts of the earth --- when it's their turn to receive the heat, the light, energy that both the sun and moon give off...so amazing and so balanced by our creator.
With the earth being my favorite planet also has its drawbacks. I mean also encompassed with the perfect balance set into place by our Creator that sustains us miraculously, comes with it the common sense knowledge of how not to offset that perfect balance that our Creator has set into place. Unfortunately, millions of people abuse our beautiful earth, i.e., taking plants that are balanced in the earth and using them for illegal or unnatural purposes---hence marijuana, poppy plant (heroin), cocaine, etc., of which was not our Creator's purpose for mankind. Then mankind makes bogus, mindless excuses such as "if God didn't want us to smoke it he wouldn't have made it". That's so much crap because he put it there to balance and sustain us; not for us to abuse what he set forth that was so good for us.
My second favorite planet is Saturn because it's so marveling to me where it really has virtually no land...no land to stop or allow the constant storms to "hit" any land, so the storms continue to spin and grow in nature. There is nothing to stop the storms, so they keep going and going and going...well, you get it..I find that so intriguing. Why did our Creator make the planets as such?
I know after Armageddon there will be "many scrolls" to be opened and full knowledge will be gained by many including what all the planets really represent in our solar system. I hope to be able after the "A Day" to visit these other planets and beyond...
Until then, Earth is my favorite planet...it's beautiful and keeps my gift of life sustained until that appointed time.
Great question! Very kewl question..

Mars and jupiter are the most interesting ones besides the Earth, I think. The moons of jupiter and mars all hold incredible mysteries and are probably the most likely ones to support human habitation at some point.

The Earth. Cause it gives me a place to live. I also fancy Saturn because of those rings.

I like Saturn also. It is very unusual with it's rings. I also like Jupiter because of it's big storm in the center and it has moons easily visible with any decent telescope.

Earth. It's by far the most interesting. Who wants to live on a planet covered in rust anyway?

Venus, 'cos she's the hottest (and brightest, form where I'm standing) of the lot! :P
U(r)anuses who don't think that Venus is the hottest (you lot probably think it's Mercury, just because it's closer to the sun! Ha!), and gave me thumbs downs, check the facts:
"The enormously CO2-rich atmosphere generates a strong greenhouse effect that raises the surface temperature to over 400 °C. This makes Venus' surface hotter than Mercury's, even though Venus is nearly twice as distant from the Sun and receives only 25% of the solar irradiance."

I like Earth because that's where I live.
Other than that, my favorite is Mars, because it has had so much fiction written about it and it is a rather interesting place.
