But, it's hard for me to pick a number one favorite.

You didn't list the criteria for making it your "favorite." If "favorite" means the one you'd keep if you could only have one, or the one you reach for first when you are going hunting, then I'd say 30-06.
Otherwise my favorite cartridge is the 45-70 Govt. I like the name. I like holding a 45-70 cartridge in my hand. I like the reaction it brings from non-shooters who see one for the first time. I like the conversations that it stirs. I like that it's an old military cartridge. I like that guys still shoot incredibly long shots with it with open sights! I like the exit hole it makes on the back side of 2x4. I like that it brings a smile to my face when I even think about it. I sold my Ruger #1 Liberty 45-70 to a friend last fall and am still regretting it! I still get to shoot it every time we go out, and when I'm busting milk jugs full of water at 200yds it makes me want to run to the gun store and get another one! Sorry, for the long post, but I just wanted to be clear.

I'm taking this as a "favorite cartidge" thread instead of a "pick one for all-around use."
I really like the .270 Winchester. Works extremely well on moderate sized animals, doesn't kick much, and its classy.
"All rounder" is a .300 WM for me.
Now with even more aplomb
