My faves:
Strv122 - biggest, baddest cat on the block!
Leopard 2A6 - nice big L55 gun
CV90120 - pretty AFV
M1A2SEP - 'nuff said
Merkava IV - scary tank
EDIT: Gee how could I forget! Challenger I with add on applique armor. Hmm, five AFVs eh? Since the Strv122 and the Leo2A6 are from the same family, and the CV90120 isn't in service, I guess the Challenger has a place in the list. :-)

Ok, so I am a series builder, so my list has 5 groups...
M113's preferably IDF APC versions.
Panthers, prefereably G's but paper-panthers, II's and Fs and Flak ,are ok too
BMP's 1,2,3 are all cool by me.
Sdkfz 251 series, especially the later versions, the Pak40, Falke, and UHU.
hmmm noticing a pattern of APC's here.. hmmm..
Modern Soviet AAA/SAM's Tunguska, ZSU23/4, Gasking, Gopher, Gecko..SA2,Sa6...
But that Soviet T72 urban assault vehicle from the Concord T72/T90 book is pretty sweet too

1) STUG III [F or G]
2) T-26 [A, B, or C] or Vickers 6-ton or variants thereof
3) Any pre-1945 T-34
4) T-28
5) Panther A or D
Plus a whole bunch more, since I didn't squeeze in the halftracks and armored cars, etc. Basically, if it rolled and could shoot, I'll consider it
