Weatherby Single Barrel Trap model:
Well, you didn't mention "purpose", so I was torn as to which is my favorite. Now I must post two pictures I guess. Both are Winchesters, and their purpose and build are quite different. Both rate "favorite" status with purpose being the difference.
For trap and wobble clays, my Winchester Diamond Grade 101 takes the #1 position (12 GA):
For around-the-house/property, and clearing trenches in combat, the 1897 Winchester came in at #1:

Here's my only 12 gauge, for now. Remington 870 set up with an 18 inch cylinder bore barrel and a +2 mag extension.

Mossberg 500. Sidesaddle, Choate stock, Tactical Tailor sling. 590 heat shield with a bright white arrow (classier version of what we did in the Marines --- a strip of medical tape to help aiming at night).

Here's my favorite shotgun......
My favorite shotgun is this 1928 A.H. Fox Sterlingworth in 12
ga. It has 28" barrels. The stock needed refinishing, and it
has a period correct Silver recoil pad. I shoot sporting clays
with it once in a while. I'm the only one to show up with a
side by side.

I like SxS shotguns also and my favorite is an inexpensive Yildiz 20 gauge SxS with removeable chokes and single trigger. It weighs 5-1/2 lbs and is joy to use for bird hunting the only thing that would be better is if it had an english straight grip and double trigger. I'm still looking for one of those but they are really pricey and where we hunt the guns can get a bit scratched up.

Gitcho eye bleech reddy!
The venerable Mossberg, one of the upscale models.
I love the cheesy factor.
Check that "engine turning" and "engraving".
We hunt for our food in these parts.

I can't hit anything with a shotgun so I don't shoot them very often (maybe the reason I can't hit anything is I don't shoot often enough). However I do like this little 28 gauge Darne. Incidently, this is the lowest grade of Darne; you should see some of the fancy ones!

You're supposed to shoot the bird before it gets to the stove!

Any of these could qualify as my favorite shotgun, except the of course, the Kimber in the middle.
Is the second gun from left a Weatherby/SKB? Looks like a Beretta action, otherwise. But that long pistol grip says Weatherby, I think.
What a nice selection of guns! What caliber is the Kimber rifle?

My 870 Express that I put a +3 mag tube on, a Fortmanns left handed safety in, a GG&G follower in and a 20 inch IC barrel on.

Not exactly the one I shoot the most, but it's the one that I will never sell.
My Grandfather's Winchester Model 12, he bought it new
in 1927, and was his favorite hunting gun
Little blue left. and the factory wood had seen a lot of field time, but not a speck of rust anywhere.
I inherited it when he passed. Hunted with it plenty, in the condition I received it.
Decided to make it look new again, off to Simmons, new blue
and a vent rib, upgraded the wood.
I occasionally give it some air at the clay club, and it can
still smoke targets with the best of them.

I have a thing about this one 
Was a gift because it had a bent barrel, (wallhanger)
I cut it at the bend and made a single barrel blackpowder Coach gun.
Perfectly balanced at the trigger
and short enough to spin it on the finger like John Wayne does
