Haven't played in absolutely ages, but last time I did I remember spending a lot of time as the sniper. Least favourite was soldier - I can't do the rocket jump or even hit anyone with the launcher xD

I like the engineer, the heavy, and the medic the most, because I don't have to worry about how much I suck at aiming xD

...and my least favorite is the sniper, for the opposite reason.

It is nice to see that there's very few trends in this topic. TF2 is such a well balanced game that you really can't nod to your buddy about how much one sucks, they're all perfect for SOMEONE.

I've been playing TF2 for about 2 years now, and my favorites are Pyro and Sniper. I die all the time as Pyro though because I use him as offense instead of defense. I like going in right in front of a Heavy to bring down everyones health before he finishes them off.
My least favorite would be Medic. I love people that play as Medic, but my real job is being a paramedic, so I just don't like going into a game and play a Medic, even though they are absolutely nothing alike. Not sure why that is, but that is how I feel. I also don't care for spy, mainly because I'm not very good at it. I should spend more time with it.

hands down my favorite is soldier and i enjoy playing as every other class except heavy there's just something about it that i don't fundamentally get

side note to beginners if your having trouble playing a certain class you might be well served in switching their item layout. for instance i couldn't play as spy until i got the eternal reward now im decent as one (not great but you get my meaning)

Favorite: Demoman. I've always been good with grenade/projectile mechanics in FPS games, and this class is completely tooled towards that. I also love the sheer power of the demoman's weapons, and the difficulty in working with them (Speaking mostly for the GL, the Sticky Launcher can be a pretty annoying spam-n-blast noob weapon although not very difficulty to counter) The power of nailing someone in the face with a grenade is sky high, and people generally assume demomen can't defend themselves in 1 on 1 combat without using the SL. But anyone with demoman experience can tell you the GL is the way to go in a 1 on 1 fight. Laying traps with stickies to wipe out a chunk of enemies is great, and receiving an uber charge to wade straight into a sentry nest and annihilate everything is always a rush. KA-BOOM!

Least favorite: I'm not sure actually.... I love playing as every single class. So I guess I'll just say which class I suck at the most; Scout. I was just never able to get a feel for aiming combined with the insane speed. I've had my moments but they are generally too few and far between for me to consider myself as being skilled as a scout. I don't flat out suck, but I'm not great (or close to it) either.

My favorite classes are the Pyro, Soldier and Scout, but there's not really one that is my least favorite as I love them all...

My favorite is easily Demo-Man, and I'm best as him.
My least favorite is probably Scout. I just can't use the damn guy unless I'm going for broke for the intelligence on 2Fort.
I'm okay as a spy and though I suck as a Sniper, it's okay I guess.

Definitely play Scout the most as I love just running like a loon. I also like to play a dead ringer spy, any kind of sniper and combat engi with his lovely mini-sentries.
I like playing the pyro but it's definitely my least favorite class because of all the spraying.

Favourite class is the Medic since I suck with the guns in the game, mostly.

Least favourite is the Spy, I cant get more than 1 kill before dying myself, so I usually switch classes in rage after getting killed 3-4 times.

F-ing around with swords when playing Demo or Soldier is really fun, too. Getting a kill feels so rewarding :)

Joint tie for favourites: Scout, Engineer, Demoman.

Most used: Engineer, Sniper, Scout.

Least favourite: Soldier.

Least used: Also Soldier. What a boring class!

If you can, get a hold of Your Eternal Reward. That's a really good way to start with the Spy, as you can work through numerous enemies before someone wises up.

Favorite: Spy and Medic. The two ends of the spectrum. Im a nice guy helpin out the heavies one second, and then destroying the hard work of an engie the next. Its how I like to play :D

Least Favorite: Scout. Because I think its hard. Im trying to get better at it though.

I enjoy and favor:
Sniper - For I always enjoy sniping in games, it just brings a smile whenever I get the sweet satisfaction of "Boom, Headshot."
Spy - "Mentlegen? I seem to have stabbed you in the back. You haven't seemed to notice either, so I'll get back to sappin' your sentries and stealing your medic's heals." Also, it feels great to have tricked and infiltrated a group to eliminate them all, slowly.
I'm pretty mediocre with all the other classes, except Demoman and Engineer.
I'm fine with the Engy, I just prefer more front line combat instead of "Spy's a sappin' my sentry!"
As for the Demo, I just can never use Stickies right, or angle the arcs of normal bombs.

Pyro when on offensive or either the engineer or sniper are pretty much my best classes.

My worst have got to be Solider and Demoman, I dunno why I just cannot do anything with them.

My favorites are Engineer and Demoman, though I'll play Medic when needed.
My least favorites are Scout and Spy. I don't think the Scout does enough damage, and the Spy (while necessary) just isn't my style of play.

I love the Demoman and Sniper. They are the most fun in my opinion. My least favorite are the Spy and Medic. I don't like support roles, and I have never been a good Spy.
