I'd have to opt for Buddhism because as far as I've seen, it's the least corrupt, least aggressive religion and focuses all its energy on understanding and putting to daily use the positive spiritual aspects of life in this universe.
I've never known a Buddhist to be petty, violent or vindictive.

Judaism because they were the first to acknowledge that there is only one true God.
Muslims because of their dedication to regular prayer and worship.
Buddhists because of the way they encourage peace and inner harmony and Yoga is really good for relaxation and stretching tired muscles.
Protestants because they helped the Roman Catholic Church get back on track for teaching what really matters.
Pentecostals because of their free-style in worship and dedication to evangelism.
(I'm a Roman Catholic.)
Sorry, did you say just one aspect? OK, well that was one aspect per religion, approximately.

I'm a Catholic, and I very much admire the emphasis upon education and scholarship within Judaism. The Jewish love of learning extends to both religious and secular fields.

I am a Christian, but i have a respect for the other religions, even though i don't believe in them.
One thing that stand out to me in many other religions, that i really admire and desire to do in my own religion is that of dedication and acting out the dedication.
To put it as a band Disciple puts in in Worship Conspiracy:
"pray to buddha every day
put us to shame in every way ["us" refers to Christians]
muslim fasting forty days
we can't lift our hands in praise"
I really admire the people who act out what they believe in, don't just sit back and say "yeah, i believe" but not act it out.
(In saying this, i don't always think what is done in acting out the religion is always good, but the principal behind it i really admire)

I still love the deep sense of mysticism that can be found in Orthodox Christianity even though I no longer am of that religion.

Muslims are devoted and make their religion a way of life and not just something they do 1 day a week.

My friend's religion is to go to the pub for one quick pint after working in telesales. I've often found myself following that.

I admire Buddhism because it's based on peace and serenity, as opposed to Christianity, which has been cause for many wars. :(
