I like infernal pact the best, because I believe all warlocks should be Con-based, but I also like the effectiveness and utility of the pact. However, as far as style goes, starlocks do indeed top the list.

I'm a dark pact fan myself. Properly utilized, darkspiral aura can be a very effective damage machine, and the powers have some excellent flavor (dealing some damage to your allies to improve your powers). The pact also works well with the Dark Fury feat, since so many of its powers deal psychic or necrotic damage.
Infernal Warlock + Tiefling + Hellfire Blood + Flame Wand + Gloves of Piercing (to break that pesky resist at least once per day) = Flamey goodness.
There are an awful lot of blast and burst effects that suplement the usual warlock role of striker, as well.
Give him more hit points for the high constitution, temporary hit points from his pact boon, the tiefling's ferocious rebuke with the push 1 effect, a very high INT score for his status effects, reflex, and armor class, and he can be one very mean machine.
You'll definitely feel the effects of being a one-trick pony when you face fire-based creatures, but the natural fire resist and at least decent non-fire attacks can ride those out, too.
So yeah... I'm pretty satisfied with infernal the few times I've tested it out.
Our primary party's star lock is a touch anemic by comparison. The fey lock we used to have in the party is something of a bad joke. Never tested dark, though.

It's also worth noting that the original (3.5) 'lock was a blend of Dark/Infernal powers - The least popular on the poll. It shows that they listened to the players and opened up these great class possibilities.

I didn't see Vermin up there, so I voted Infernal as my runner up. 
In both cases, it is purely because they fit my recent character concepts best. Doesn't much matter to me what stats they focus on.

I like the flavor of the Starpact the most, though the infernal pact probably fits my temperament better.

I love star pact flavorwise -- it is just awesome 150% legend!
Ruleswise, I'm not sure...I voted star pact anyway...

Fey pact - Making deals with the folks beneath the skills is fun.
