My favourite is my very first brew, a Kilkenny clone.

My first ever was a partial extract kit from morebeer...

It was simple, came out just as I hoped, and left me wanting to continue the hobby...

My first was a Fat Tire Clone from My LHBS - got me hooked and then I made tweaks to the recipe once I got some experience. Now I am AG'in it - I haven't made the Fat Tire batch yet.

I never did a kit. But I think my dads going to start brewing soon now that he has retired, so this is good, I'll be able to give him suggestions.

Only extract I ever did was the Nut Brown Ale kit from Northern Brewer - was good enough to get me hooked into homebrewing.

Hop Head IPA from Midwest was excellent, as were others from them
Many of the AHS clones were tasty

I brewed a Hank's Hefe from Midwest and it turned out great. I really like it. Most of the kits I have done are from Brewers Best and all of them have turned out to be great tasting beers.
