Man, I need to find a favorite... lol.
 
1095

All of them. I know with advances in metallurgy that there are "better" steels out there, and there are certainly worse steels out there, but I've always been pleased with general high carbon stock.
 
S30V (PM2)
ZDP-189 (Endura)
M390 (Barrage + PM2 on the way)
VG10 (Rescue)
13c26 (Leek)
14c28n (Skyline)
CPM-M4 (Manix 2 + BM 525 + Gayle Bradley)
1095 (Junglas)
AUS8 (Rat1)
S35V (PM2 on the way)

Shirogami/White#2
Aogami Super

sr-101 (aka 52100)
ELMAX
CPM-154
VG-10 (not a fan)
ATS-34

so far the ones i love are sr-101, 1085, CPM-154, ELMAX

steels i want to try are: INFI, M390, CPM-M4, CPM-3V, CTS-XHP, Duratec 20v
 
This would be easier as a multi-choice poll, but I think that only allows 20 choices. Anyway, here goes:
1080
1084
1095
420HC
440A
52100
