I'd have to go with option 2 and 1E; a lot of it is nostalgia, and I never played any editions after 2E, but I have a LOT of fond memories of those early days of D&D...
I'm actually a little surprised. I would have expected that people's favorite would be their first at a much higher rate, but I guess the total of "played longest" is a pretty close second to "neither".
It could be that there are others like me... the first D&D I bought, read and dabbled in barely ever actually got played. I was in Elementary and Jr. High in the mid 80s and there was not enough of a cadre of players that made actually running and the playing the game possible.I'm actually a little surprised.
