Tali's and Legions. I do them back to back because they are so closely tied together and so closely tied to the overall plot of Mass Effect, whereas most of the other characters just have their little "betrayal! omg!" loyalty quest that doesn't impact the story.
Oh, and because Tali's has Aeryn Sun and Kain in it. So her's wins automatically.

Samara's - beating those turians up in the club was awesome. I love how it's very easy to fuck up while talking to Morinth. I nailed it in the first try, but most of my friends couldn't complete it. I love the dialogue-only missions, a nice change of pace.
Jack's - Even though you only have to fight a couple of varren, the mission had a great impact on me. I felt a bit disturbed throughout the whole quest. And the end cutscene...
*click-click* *click-click*
Miranda's - It's hard to not like the quest of your favourite squadmate. The moment when she speaks to her sister hit me hard.
Garrus had an awesome one too. That headshot was poetry in motion.
Tali's one was great, but it was ruined by the fact that I completely hate her.
You know, it's easier to divide by zero than choose my favourite.

Grunt, without a shadow of a doubt.
The setting, the visuals, the dustcouds swirling around you, the giant ground pounding device hammering and sending echoes through the ruined cities...
It was completely epic, in the proper sense of the word.
Plus, you got to headbutt a Krogan.

I'm not sure if I can really decide my favorites because they all had certain elements that made them completely awesome.
Zaeed: This one was great because you get to see why Zaeed is who he is, and it offers a great paragon/renegade choice that really makes you realize what you've done.
Miranda: Finally, she becomes a human being instead of "bawww, my daddy made me perfect." Getting her to talk to her sister at the end was very touching.
Jacob: The pacing of this mission was great and talking to his father was quite interesting.
Garrus: This one was simply badass, ranging from kicking the hell out of Harkin to deciding whether Garrus should kill Sidonis. It really shows a different side to Garrus's personality.
Jack: Very touching and disturbing mission and it does a great job of humanizing her instead of "I'm a cold hearted *****" 24/7
Mordin: One of the best character missions I've ever played, I honestly didn't see this one coming. It does a complete turn-around for his character as you realize there's a LOT to him and his internal conflict is raging.
Tali: My favorite loyalty mission for the emotional impact. Getting to see Quarian culture is one thing, but seeing how much Shepard and Tali mean to each other is incredibly heartwarming. Adding on the fact you can call the Admiralty Board out on their bullshit and learn more about the Quarian and Geth means this is a recipe for success.
Thane: I liked this one because it was a big departure from the others. The Good Cop/Bad Cop scene was expertly handled and the final confrontation with Thane's son is very touching.
Grunt: This one is badassery in mission form. Headbutting a Krogan to taking down a Thresher Maw on foot, this is the definition of "testosterone-filled action." Oh, and I got to see Wrex again.
Samara: I liked this one for the same reason I liked Thane; it's very different and the final confrontation is nothing short of epic.
Legion: I liked legion's because it starts out as a balls to the wall shooting match, then presents an incredibly heavy moral choice at the end. Can't wait to see how that impacts ME3
Honestly, while I think Tali's mission is the best, ALL of them have extraordinary aspects and the best character development I've ever seen. Taken as a whole, it's a masterpiece of storytelling.

I was wondering if anyone else had spotted that...DominicxD said:
'Dammit, why won't this thing go any faster!'
Made me chuckle.
That scene was either hilarious or awfully disturbing, I can't quite decide which...Lux Solis Invicti said:
And welcome to the Escapist, may you enjoy your stay.
One thing I didn't get about Garrus' Loyalty mission was there wasn't really a chance to find out Sidonis' side of things before deciding to let Garrus blow his head off. You have to make the choice of not wanting to kill Sidonis before he has his chance to explain his side of the story, and nothing in the storyline suggests that he didn't sell out Garrus and his men just for money. Near as I can tell about the paragon ending Sidonis "feels bad" about the incident, but other than "Let him live a good life" there doesn't seem to be any punishment for him.
I played my Shepards as mostly Paragon, but I have no problem taking the renegade options when the NPC I'm dealing with is an ass, and I don't have a paragon choice. (The game isn't KoTOR so there's no loss of Paragon-ness if I get Renegade points.) Generally I'm nicer to my Crew, mostly because I need their help in the long run.
As for favorite missions: For a combat experience Grunt's Mission was awesome. Tali's mission I liked for where it happened. Legion's mission was interesting because you found more about how the Geth worked. Samara's mission had the best ending with her "Peace of the Goddess"-line.
Jack's backstory was interesting because it made me wonder if there was a deliberate connection to Mass Effect Ascension at all.

God, I can't decide... I adored them all. Well, then I'll give my least favorite: Miranda. Simply because I never really liked her that much, and the fighting in her quest was good, but not as good as it could have been.
Mordin: because it brought to light the different sides to the genophage argument, plus the Krogan + fire moment made me laugh.
Jacob: because it actually made Jacob interesting! The environment was gorgeous, but kind of haunting. Plus the plot was awesome.
Garrus: I adore Garrus and anything related to him. Plus, his mission showed that he wasn't just all business, he also wanted revenge.
Samara: It was a very nice change in pace from all the fighting. Plus it made me feel like some kind of super-seduction/spy, searching for my target, drawing her out... Fun!
Tali: I finally got to see the Migrant Fleet, which made me ridiculously happy. Plus, playing lawyer was really fun.
Grunt: The fighting was frantic and fun. Plus, I got to see Wrex again, and I finally got to beat the Thresher Maw!
Thane: Same as Samara as far as the change in pace. Plus the "good cop, bad cop" routine was gold.

Tali's mission because i got to yell at politicians and Thane's mission because, well... It's Thane! Common!
If you check out galaxy news you can hear a report that mentions that Sidonis walked into C-Sec and confessed to the murders of 10 men on Omega. That mission was particularly tense, I only warned him because I didnt want Garrus to walk down that path.Raithnor said:
OT: The interrogation in Thanes mission was masterfully done, I play as a paragon but decided to be the bad cop, punched him twice, held back at the third and charmed my way to victory.
Tali's quest is my favourite because of all the emotion and character interaction, also feel that it compliments the romantic relationship (if you choose her).
I remember in Tali's mission when you talked to the Admiral Koris or whatever his name was, he has a ship named Qwib-Qwib (So, [something]'Koris vas Qwib-Qwib) and when you ask him about it, he says that the name stuck because it wasn't easy to change the registration number, but he also says "We can't all serve on ships with great names such as Defrahnz and Iktomi" and it took me a minute but then I just burst out laughing and just thought "well played Bioware, well played."
Koris vas Defrahnz, or Koris vas Iktomi....vas deferans and vasectomy
Zaeed. Because whatever path you take, renegade or paragon, you'll be entertained. Either by Zaeed's sheer badassery or by quietly giggling to yourself as he throws a hissy fit as Vido fliiiiees away. ^_^
Mordin's was really good though. You got to see a whole new side to his character.
