Which X-Men friendships do you like the most
I really liked X 23 and gambit during her book's run it would be nice to see it again in the new gambit comic.

Storm and Jean. They're probably one of the only constant friendships.
I feel that's a writer thing. It's a set precedent, and an easy one to acknowledge in text, that whole sisterhood bundle of love and respect thing they've got going on. I went for the clearly unpopular Hank & Emma, because even though I don't know how much it existed outside of Morrison, it made sense, took readers slightly out of their comfort zone, and added depth to both characters.
I'm not sure I get the Storm/ Gambit popularity. It was there at the beginning, and they do have a few matters of their origin in common, but I feel it has often been ignored by writers because it requires attention to some of the deeper, more nuanced and in some ways conflicted elements of both characters to write. It's the kind of friendship that should make perfect sense to the two of them, and little to anyone else. Rarely have writers bothered rising to that challenge.

True. I did like the Hank and Emma for a time, but then Hank abandoned ship and went to the avengers and then Emma didn't bother having a relationship with anyone else outside of Scott. But their friendship was one that made sense despite its peculiarity and one I enjoyed.
And agreed on the Storm/Gambit thing. Though it seems to me that Storm seems to be flirty best friends with the guys on the X-Men. She's traded a couple of cute comments over the years which have made me giggled. I like Storm and she seems to get on with everyone, except Emma.
Emma really needs to make friends and stop worrying about her relationship problems with Scott. Though it seems that its her fault on the latter part lately.

This is going off topic, but it has me thinking that there has been some kind of effort over the past few years to eliminate the moral compasses of the X-men. Nightcrawler is dead, Jean is dead, Beast left, Colossus is possessed by a demon, Storm, and more so Xavier have become increasingly distanced. It's a shame, but I guess it's just where the company has been moving the team, tone wise.
My own definitely has to be Magneto and Professor Xavier, even if it's not one of the options. I believe that their friendship is based on the right foundation, that is, upon the foundation of improving society...Even if one of them employs terrorism and the other, comparatively benign methods.
