My favourite familiars are the Toad (it's cute, it gives a good bonus especially in 3.0, and it usually stays safe in a pocket) and the Owl, which being nocturnal is both cool and useful.
But more generally, any flying familiar is good for me, especially if it's quite small: Hawk, Bat...
I also had a snake, and I liked it as well.
Animal Companions are different, because usually they get replaced more easily, so I get less attached.

I'll go with my character Lucifus's Psuedonatural Raven: Winter.
When she is played by a capricious DM, you never quite know when she is going to change into something decidedly unpalatable and innappropriate. Of course Lucifus thinks she's beautiful and he does not have the wisdom to perceive why all the people in the nice tavern give him funny looks - although there's a whole heap of other reasons too.

Don't normally do Familiars or Animal Companions at all, except for one character that combined both as an Arcane Hierophant. The combined Familiar/Animal Companion was an Ape. (I thought about Dire Ape, but it's just not worth it.)
Of course... I was playing a 6 INT Half-Orc and a 12 INT Ape. I roleplayed it as the Ape telling the Half-Orc what to do and what to say-- and the Half-Orc trying to do/say it correctly. Of course... the amount of damage the Half-Orc could do when he got frustrated at doing things incorrectly was vastly amusing.
Most fun I've ever had.

I did use a skunk for a familiar for my chaotic evil gnome wizard. He intimidated it with a stinking cloud spell. It tunneled into odd places,sprayed enemies,and sprayed allies when panicked. Fun until another character's dragon familiar swallowed both of them.

Well, for Improved Familiars, I have a preference for the Pseudodragon.
But, for regular familiars/animal companions, my preferences have been predominately feline--cats for wizards, panthers, tigers, cougars, lynxes, & the like for druids. It's remarkably easy to slip into the role, too, since there's 7 cats running around my house, & 4 over at a friend's house where we game often.
Like the idea of riding dogs for gnome/halfling characters, though since I am a child of the 80's, some Large-sized riding cat seems to be in order.
