Classic cattleya's. The more floof, the better I like them. I've also never met a Blc Goldenzelle I didn't love.

On the other hand, I guess I should mention Blc Chia Lin 'Debby' AM/AOS. Yep, it's named after me by a very good friend and then won an award on top of that! It's a deep red that sparkles and smells great.....just like me!!!

I didn't pick just one but I did stay in the cattleya genre!

Those are my favorites also - flowering & scent are the icing

cb977 you like tetragonum also! Have you tried any of the 'hot-cold' breeds coming out recently? I'm not sure how big they are, i guess Hilda Poxon might get too big for you but a lot of the best breeds have tetragonum as a parent.

There's a good writeup of them here

I think Den tetragonum is one of the coolest little 'chids around! Shakkai got one recently too
I haven't tried any of the others you mentioned but I'll surely be checking into them!

Here's a pic of mine:
