I loved the 3e book Unearthed Arcana. I just adored having this big book of optional rules and inspiration. So much cool stuff in that book.

No one favorite edition for me, but here's what I like best from each edition:

Rules Cyclopedia. A complete game in one book.

1e. Gygax's DMG with all those tables.

2e. The settings.

3e & PF. Character customization.

4e. Easier for the DM.

5e. I don't know yet, but I like its ambitions.

Since I have a fond love for it as well, and I don't want it to feel left out.

3rd, which was my first love, I love your Templates. Balanced? No not at all. But creative and fun as heck!

1e for many reasons not least of which is its sense of whimsy, something that was lost as the editions rolled on.

4e: the healing surge (plus other things already mentioned and unmentioned).

3.0 and its property of being "organic", all pieces fitting together and affecting each other... the perfect edition if you want "mastery" to be your playing style.

Ironically, my favourite property of 5e is modularity which is quite the exact opposite
