Come on ... we need more options than that! Off the top of my head I'll add:
Haskell
LISP
Perl
Python
Parrot
Ruby
Scheme
Standard-ML
SMALLTALK

Of which I'd say Perl is what I use more often, but I really like Haskell (Scheme started me on functional programming). SMALLTALK is interesting too, right now I'm using SQUEAK (a deravitive of SMALLTALK) for a project, and it is really promising (though its a big headache most of the time!). Ruby also looks neat, but I've never programmed in it.

Now, to answer your real question

Favorite imperative language: Perl
Favorite functional language: Haskell
Favorite object-oriented language: Smalltalk

And if I had to pick one, I'd go with Perl.
