I always had a soft spot for Storm (X-Men), and for Barbara Gordon (the original Batgirl). But I think my favorite all-time has got to be Kitty Pryde. Maybe it's the geek thing. Maybe it's the Jewish thing. I like her. A lot. I like her powers, I like how she's had to deal with horrible shit and has done so beautifully, I like her ninja training and streak of bad-assery from hanging out with Wolverine, and I like her smarts.
Supervillains? Dark Phoenix. Easy. Although I suppose Granny Goodness also comes to mind.
