At this point, I'd still have to consider the Talon SR my favorite, based on the number of motors and hours we have utilized them with zero mishaps. Spike relays would be second for the same reason (no mishaps, fewer hours, though you may not consider them a
controller).
It didn't take much use of the Talon SR to send the Jaguars and Victors (a few each 884s and 888s) into our "unused parts" collection.
Being a bit of a "never buy serial number 1 of anything" guy, I have high hopes for most of the various controllers on this list, but none of them has become a favorite yet. I really like the features of the Talon SRX; if it proves to be robust it will probably top my list next year. The Victor SP, Spark, and SD 540 are all in a runoff to displace the obsolescent Talon SR, with cost, reliability, and limit switch capability as ranking factors to be determined. The Jaguar is my
least favorite ever controller since becoming associated with FRC in 2012, squarely behind both the Victor 884s and 888s. Every one that the team ever owned has died a painful, stinky death. As much as we wanted to stop using them, we couldn't stop using these fast enough to get any of them out of use before it went up in smoke.
For the record: no vote cast, because my only solid decision among the controllers listed is
not jaguar.

Ditto Talon SR.
