Tough one!
If I could just say my favorite S&W it would be my 686 Pro Series, because of the flexibility of optional use of moon clips, conventional speed loaders, or just hand loading, plus the power, accuracy, and smooth trigger. Ooh I luv that wheelgun!
But I digress. The question was about favorite "auto-loaders," so I'll have to go with my Model 41. Reasons: It is accurate, it is beautiful to behold, it is aesthetic, and I have both the 5 inch and 7 in barrels for it. So with the 7 inch barrel I've a super-nice sight radius, and with the 5 inch barrel, I have a Match-Dot mounted on the rail. Finally, it is a "classic" S&W, with old-school craftsmanship built into it.
