Ok, I know this might have gone in General Anime / Manga, but since this is the MS[/b]PB, most everyone has a general idea of what a Gundam is at least. I don't think we've had a poll like this here (or at least for a long time), so go ahead and put them up along with whatever reasons you've got. Any series, as long as it's an official design.
Me? I've got to go with the Szabi. The biggest rivalry in the Gundam universe was between Amuro and Char, and since I'm a loyal member of Zion, I had to go with the big red machine. It's got more curves and smoother surfaces on it unlike most of the cardboard box looking Feddie designs, and the mono-eye is incredibly intimidating under a kaiser-esque helmet.
Anyways - list em up!

FAZZ. I was once shown this MS, I believe by Goji or someone else or another. But it's awe destructive power was just so awesome. And the possibilities never end.

My absolute favorite official MS design is the Dom Tropen. The Raketen bazooka fires an 880mm shell, which would just devastate any conventional suit. The sturm fausts also proved to be an effective weapon, despite the fact that they were unguided. And there's never a problem with a suit that can hover over the ground for long distances and periods, which possibly led to the effectiveness of the suit.

I have two, both of them for the same reasons. Turn A Gundam and Turn X. In spite of their odd, not-so-traditional MS appearances, these two are both seemingly simple in appearance (especially Turn A; Turn X has a more aesthetically detailed appearance), yet both contain serious firepower that can put the world into the Dark Ages.

Hmmm, really, really tough call. I suppose I'll pick three by categories. Gundam type, MP type and AU.
Honestly I like the Gundam Mark II the best out of all the UC Gundam designs, for the specific reason that it isn't as 'flashy' as other Gundam suits. Nor is it overpowered. In fact it isn't that much more powerful than the units it ends up fighting in Zeta.
For mass production models, I'd have to say the Gouf Custom, even if it technically 'mass produced'. It's a good, powerful design that a skilled pilot can get a lot of performance out of.
Then for my favorite AU suit, I'd have to go with Gundam Spiegel. I mean, come on, it's just awesome.

My favorite MS since July of 2000 has been and most likely always will be the MS-14A Gelgoog!
Though I've seen plenty of flashy and dangerous looking designs, none of them have seemed to surpass the Gelgoog's menacing glare and its ability to look dangerous without glitzy weapons and almost-decorative armor.

Prolly the Z'Gok line, including -E and RF. I mean, they are badass aquatic suits that specialize mainly in taking things by suprise. Stealth is one of their main weapons. Plus those claws are just very cool.

I beleive, UC wise, mine would have to be GP02A. No, it is not for its nuke at all, I like it because of it's shape, bulky-ness, and much greater physical strength (e.g. arm motors) over standard MS, including GP01.
AU wise, I think it would have to be the Strike Gundam from Gundam SEED, and no, that is not because Kira pilots it and is all god-like when he pilots it. I like the Strike for it's design and capabilities when Kira is NOT piloting it. How I imagined it should be piloted was when Mwu La Fllaga piloted it.

I'd go with the god suit itself, the Ex-S. Zeta Plus A1 and C1 also get honorable mention. Infact, most of Sentinel was pretty badass.

I'd have to go with Gouf. I love it, always have. However, with other categories...AU mass produced, I have to go with the Maganic. I mean, come on, the designs of 'em ruled. But for AU Gundam, I go with Speigal.

Oooh, toughie.
Man, Aries is being forced to pick. Gah.
Well, for AU MP, Aries's absolute favorite would have to be the Tallgeese. Aries means, come on. Color scheme ain't flashy, and it's the Wing equivalent of a Cadillac. Low-ri-der. For AU Unique, Blitz Gundam. That thing is just so cool, Aries almost hated it when Nicol died.
For UC MP...ooh...Rick Dias. Those things are just so fun. For UC Unique...aaaah...probably the Gerbera Tetra. It's like a Gundam...but it's Zeonic! Gasp! It's like having your cake...and eating it too! Dude!
But overall king of those would be the Rick Dias. Aries does not know why, but it just rocks.

Here here. The gouf is just so badass. Even Char couldn't pwn the RX-78-2 in a first battle as badly as the gouf did. Plus, it's really damn blue, and that says something. Would you go fight a war in a desert wearing that kind of color? The Gouf would.
Other than that, the RX-78-NT1. Not to say that I particularly liked 0080 all that much, (to kiddie for me) but that series really did have great mecha designs. The Kaempher (again with the blue) was absolutely awesome. Probably one of the most enjoyable one-on-one mecha battles in all of the Gundam canon- at least that I've had the oportunity to see.
