Well, in third edition, my favorite currently is my prestige class Arcane Archer. Elven Ranger with a few lvls of Sorc.
In 2nd I played a human cleric all the time. For some reason after every fight the whole party would be on the edge of death And I was the only cleric in our games most of the time
I'm not much on alignments but when I play I always go by True Neutral, though the occasional crazy mage is fun to play
