I actually have 2 favorites, Craft Wand and Craft Wondrous Item, simply because they're both (a) very useful [and versatile], and (b) attainable at fairly low levels. My 3rd favorite is Craft Staff.

CWI is more usefull than the others for a wizard.
Bracers of Armor
Cloak of Resistance
Robe of the Arch Magi
Not to mention Manuals and Tomes...
Besides Scribe Scroll (which is free for wizards and some clerics) nothing else can compare with the bang for the buck, err... feat for the slot... err, you know what I mean...

Scribe scroll of course! It's free. And you can't beat that price with a stick.
Craft Wondrous Item is the feat I'd ask my party wizard to learn.
Craft Wand is the feat I'd want to learn as the wizard. We don't often make it to higher levels and so I'll get the most use out of it and a lot of spell casting expansion.

I voted CWI to my own thread for it's versatility. But...
- Craft wands is immensly uselful, I'd daresay priceless.
- Forge ring is cool because of the good ole lord of the ring inspiration
- Craft staff would be cool if there weren't only one cool staff for wizard. Is there any nice wizard's staff in T&B or MoF ? Plus, the staff of power requires a lot of other feats and spell; which can be a problem to specialists wizards
- Craft arms and armor is pretty much the end of the line for a wizard but for one very cool thing: Golems !!!
Choosing feats for a wizard sure is hard buisness !

I put cwi because it can do almost anything. I like rods as well since they are cool even if they frequently suck. Arms and armor to make your meat shield more effective is also great.
I don't get the love for wands though. I get scrolls for free, so why should I spend a feat to get a feat that makes bundle of 50 scrolls, max level 4. Sure there is a cost savings but cost savings equal to spending a feat? Not for me it isn't. Staff at least goes levels 1-9, and the cost savings are actually greater so I can understand it but still I wont spend a feat on it since scrolls are good enough for me. I suppose if I was a wizard with some multi- wiz/sorcerer in the group you know 1 level of a arcane class I might to that team spirit thing pick up wands and make them an arsenal, but otherwise never.

Two things:
1) cost & time savings, Try creating 500 scrolls. I mean talk about writer's cramp! And then once they're made, I'd rather have 10 wands on my belt than 500 scrolls to shuffle through.
2) Ease of use in combat. Why scribe magic missile scrolls? Better to have a wand. I like wands because it means the wizard can still fight even if the battle is long and heated and the wizard has used up his spells

Craft Wonderous Items and Create Wands. CWI becuase you can do (quite literally) anything with this feat in the way of magical items. You can make items that literally anyone can use, either via command word or simply by using them (ie: Cloak of Invisibility) I've got this feat right-off for my Wizard and he'll end up soon with Magical Artificer (of Magic of Faerun) for that 25% Exp/gp savings.
The draw-back of making Scrolls vs Wands is that a Scroll can, in essence, only have what you can have in your memory for spells on it. A Wand had 50 charges of whatever you put in it. Small, compact item with a no-doubt usefull spell in it. I'll end up with this feat and Artificer as well.

Forge Ring.
What? Did you or did you not see Lord of the Rings?
Seriously though, rings are powerful, versatile, and easily interchangable. While Arms and Armor, Wands, Staves, and scrolls are fairly class specific, rings (for the most part) are not. CWI is also in the same category, but rings truly have the versatility feeling.
