No Challenge Cup, no Middle Cup, no Balanced Hackmons...*sigh*
I guess NU would have to be my favorite balanced tier. The others are great (well, I'm not a big UU player, but still), and OU is definitely the tier I play the most commonly, but NU is just so great for the raw number of weird but viable Pokemon that no one would think to use in OU. I guess the biggest complaint I'd have is that you're also short on a few things, such as good Steels, but other than that it's great just because there's so much...stuff. In addition, as far as the last month's usage stats go, NU has the most variety of any of the tiers. In other words, OU has 98 Pokemon above 1% usage, UU has 96, RU has 105, and NU has a whopping 130. Seriously, you can find a use for pretty much anything in NU (that isn't banned, of course).

Mine is Übers, or more specifically, the Dream World variation of that tier, as not only is it a completely static tier in which no elements can possibly be added to (in the form of a Dream World Ability being released) or removed from it (in the form of people banning something from the tier), barring the introduction of new moves from Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 of course, but there is simply something extremely awe-inspiring about an environment in which all 649 Pokémon are allowed to be used. Übers is also the tier to which most of my favorite Pokémon belong, and as such this contributes to my enjoyment of battling within this tier, as I get to both use and battle against many of my favorite Pokémon, around which the vast majority of Über battles are centered. And the last reason why Übers is my favorite tier is because I simply find the experience of controlling a team consisting of mostly God or titan-like Pokémon such as Arceus, Kyogre and Groudon, and also battling against an opponent using such in a grand war between two teams of deities of the Pokémon world, to be an incredibly epic and thrilling experience.
The world is a strange, random, and unpredictable place. People are capable of spontaneously forming incorrect beliefs and continuing to hold them for no understandable reasons even in the face of contrary evidence, friends no matter how close can suddenly and randomly become enemies, people can perform any actions imaginable with no understandable cause, and luck decides pretty much everything in this world. But it is the experience of the very joy derived from the observation of such chaos... which is what makes life truly so worthwhile.

**** where's the GOOD tiers from back before the game was three quarters team matchup
see: dpp uu adv ou dpp ou
[17:29] <&dragonuser> masturbating for the rest of the day does sound really tempting
OU, but UU is a very close second.
I occasionally play RU, and very rarely play NU.
OU it's the tier I know the most about
3 tiers I play most is OU, NU, and UU. I agree with jesusfreak about versaility in NU. It's really interesting and good tier. I'm not quite best UU player but it's pretty awesome tier (dpp uu was better). And OU is OU, it's just doesn't need any explanation. I'm planning to jump in RU and LC, but NU and OU are my favourite tiers at the moment.

(01:41:52) *** Your rank in Standard OU is 62/47119 [1391 points / 1016 battles]! Smogon server
(22:46:55) *** Your rank in Standard NU is 40/3980 [1206 points / 152 battles]!
UU is my opinion for many of our faves (INCLUDING TO MANY FANS THE BIG BURNING CHARIZARD OF DEATH. wHERE IT IS AFRAID OF OU THANKS TO STEALTH ROCK).
But I love the ous too for its openness to other lower ranks. Being able to bring terrible pokemon on the online field for fun.
UU/Ubers. They have the most powerful set of Pokemon.

OU. i agree with Blue Harvest that it's the most balanced tier apart from choice band terrakion.
I have really grown to like UU =) It has the best Bug/Steel type outside of OU (Escavalier), it is diverse, many different Pokemon and many fun teams. The only thing I don't like is the Sand Team+Stoutland combination =/

NU, for the reasons Jesusfreak gave, as well as the fact that nothing is broken, despite being the largest tier. Loads of things have niches as well. I would highly recommend that anyone who hasn't tried it should.
Actually, of all the tiers I've played, OU is the worst. The battles are dull seeing as you know who's going to win as soon as the team matchup appears, and everything is used too much, and you can almost predict the team before you've even seen the team matchup.
OU, since it appears to have the most balanced variety of Pokemon.

My fav tier is OU because you can use any pokemon but for certain legendaries and pokemon with a certain abilitie. So that's why I like OU I also like RU.

Interesting question, though I'd have to say Uber. Mainly because it's my best tier (I am rather good at it if I do say so myself), and there is something nice about blasting the opponent with really powerful moves etc. I also like OU, though, because that's the tier that everyone starts in. It's like a home. I have had a go with the lower tiers, but the only one of those I really enjoy is NU.
Thanks to all those who made the Crystalline Guard the Clan it was. It was sad to see it go.
