For me it's Two Face. Ever since "Arkham Asylum". It's difficult though as he can also be one of the most mishandled villains. But in the hands of a good writer, there is almost a constant "rooting for the underdog" hope that he might do the right thing. The most recent, and thoroughly enjoyable, example of this was James Robinson's positively Jacobean "Face the Face". Watching the inevitable unfold, all the while hoping that the character might find some redemption...it makes for good comics.
I got into the x-verse through the New Mutants around the time of fall of the mutants, although the X-title I enjoyed the most was X-Factor when Louise Simonson and Whilce Portacio were working on it (and then even more when PAD and Larry Stroman took over). The X-Men itself has never been a favourite title for me, although the first 6 issues of Astonishing X-Men were heaven.
I'm almost ashamed to say that now, my favourite character is X-23, but really only when Kyle and Yost handle her. Kyle and Yost can write the hell out of any x-book though.
