The tile and question explain it all. Tell me your favorite AA in Halo: Reach. Select one, then tell why it's your favorite. Personally I like the Drop Shield, mainly because it's a portable healing station. It's saved my ass numerous times in the Campaign on Legendary.

I absolutely love tricking people with holograms. You'd be surprised how many people will shoot at one if it's standing still.
It depends on the situation. I like using Holograms in campaign to draw enemy fire away from me for a moment while I reload and/or get my shields back up. Jetpacks are great in firefight (especially rocket-matches) for taking out enemies as Phantoms unload them. I'm liking Sprint a lot too, especially for the long-jump. Armor Lock is funny to use on but, I always forget about it when I get hit by a sticky grenade.
At first I was all about the jetpack, but I've found that in Matchmaking the Hologram is one of my biggest allies. It just feels great sending it down a hallway I know my opponent is at the other end of, then as he attacks the hologram I sneak up from behind and get an assassination. SO satisfying.
Although in Firefight or campaign I find myself using Sprint quite a bit.
I do still use jetpacks for Rocketfights and Sniperfights in Firefight to better vantage points more easily.

It's tough between sprint/evade and jetpack. Both are very useful for extra mobility, which is good during a firefight (or whilst running away from one!)
evade and sprint
I love messing around with the Jet Pack. makes me feel like Boba Fett
umm... Armor lock...uhh...not so good. I mean sure, you avoid damage, but it's too easy to get just wait for them to break off and shoot them

All about the holograms. Especially on sniper games. Just send it up there, watch for bullet trails, and counter snipe while they empty their mag.
Armor lock is mainly only useful when you have allies around to back you up once you get ambushed, alone it's almost useless as all someone has to do is wait a few seconds before using grenades. That being said I actually had my greatest moment in Halo Reach using armor lock on the map reflections. Some noob was camping the elevator with the sword and active camo so I decided to head up with armor lock engaged, once he swung I pulled out causing the emp to take out his shields and knock him over the edge. I followed him over the edge and pummeled him in mid-air, I really wish I could have seen his face when his corpse hit the ground and I stole his sword. We still lost since one of our team members quit at the beginning but I'm still proud of that little moment.
Honestly, in Multiplayer, I love the Armor Lock. I'd activate and people would start bashing me expecting to kill me, only to knock their own shields off. It's also a great way to dodge Grenades and to block the sword and Hammer.
In the Campaign, I couldn't go without the Drop Shield. It just made everything easier.

Haven't actually got Halo: Reach, but played the demo like crazy, so I'm gonna say Invincibility, always useful in getting out of sticky situations (get it! Sticky Grenades... Invincibility! No... Okay then, excuse the pun), and I always did well with it on multiplayer.
The Jetpack would be my second choice, I loved flying around with the needler

I like hologram and sprint (jetpack is fun too play around with though)
I find armor lock to be a delay of impending doom. When someone armor locks in front of me I wait a few seconds and throw a plasma right before they come out of it

Sprint it defiantly has its uses. That and the jetpack both of them are better was of getting around than the regular speed. My favorite can also depend on what game mode, what map and if in single player what level, what part of what level, what difficulty am I playing on. It all really depends.
