Derringer. Form factor, still easy to build on, flavor, airflow, and vapor are great.
I've pretty much ditched everything for my derringers got em in stainless, brass and copper
Magma - ease of build, flavor is great and I think it looks great
Derringer - super small and build is easy. The only con for me is the juice well.
I still love the Mephisto (vaping it right now) - super easy to build, airflow just right for me in single coil. Love it
also like the tugboat and 454.

These are my top 3 as of right now.
#1 Tobh
This has been my work horse. I bought a 2.5 pretty much the day they were released online and I loved it so much that I bought a second one. After a few months of searching, I was able to find a 2.0 and verify its authenticity, so now I have three Tobhs.
I enjoy building and the Tobh is a bit of a challenge to build on with the tabs so I've enjoyed experimenting and finding the perfect build for me. I enjoy very hot vapes and the Tobh excels at that with its small airflow, especially on the 2.0.
#2 Kennedy
I'm in love with this RDA! I own a competition Kennedy and I love that it can handle ANY build I throw at it. The vertical airflow is incredible and as far as aesthetics go, its such a beautiful piece.
#3 Tugboat
Simplicity. A nice, deep well, simple but effective post design, and a plethora of aftermarket caps for it, make this one another go-to for me.

I'm pretty into derringers at the moment, but the freakshow mini has me intrigued. I've heard a bunch about how easy the Vulcan is to build on, so that's on my list. Also, I'm pretty into the veritas as well, probably because it strikes me as being a pretty intriguing and unique design.
I like my Mephisto because it is easy to dial in airlow for single coil builds and I use it that way with Ni200 on TC devices. I like my Brass Monkey for vertical dual micro coils because it has two positive posts for ease of building and a reduced chamber volume for outstanding flavor, and I like my Apo because it looks just right (to me) sitting atop a Stingray X.
hey guys hope all is going well! i have been researching getting a couple new rda's and i was wondering what you guys favorite RDA's are to date? if you could list maybe top 3 that would be great, also possibly list your favorite things about them, thanks guys and happy vaping!

I've got a 22mm 5 post igo-w3 which I don't try to use;
a more typical design 3-post-in-a-row 22mm big dripper.. which I don't mind using, but don't care to build on
a 22mm magma
but what I use are mainly 3 30mm veritas
and to a lesser extent 3 40mm magmas.
The size is important, firstly for my 50+ year old eyes
and capacity is a world of difference;
the veritas is an extremely leak resistant design, and lots of room to pad up extra wicking around the centerpost.
the build and wicking are a bit quirky I guess. But there's only 1 airhole so perfect for single coil
The magma - super easy to build and to wick; designed for dual coil; one of my magmas I have single coil by plugging up the airhole with foil.
The main reason I do not use the magmas is the plastic separator block down in the drip well.

Sorry I can't list 3 because I've used the same ones for 11 months. I love the little rm2 and I suppose the reason is because they sit on reos. I need something that is dependable and easy to build that will still knock my socks off.
But I think it is wonderful that there are so many choices out there for us and I am sure you will get many great suggestions here. That's what is so wonderful about the ecf people. Good luck to you and let us know what you decide on. 
at the moment I'm working with the doge for when I'm cloud chasing, and the plume veil for flavor, which also gets great vapor production, i love these two on my ipv2 mini, but I'm just ready to get a few more to mess around with and have a bigger better variety, thanks for all the feedback so far guys!
In no particular order:
Derringer - good flavor, easy to build, looks great on my Gator Box
Magma - good flavor, easy to build, easy to wick
Mutation X v3 - easy to build, easy to wick, love the airflow adjustment

I second that plume veil. I use mine for flavor builds and can vouch for the flavor. Mine is a clone but meh, tastes excellent regardless. I use it mainly on my vaporshark dna40 and currently has a single .52 ohm zipper coil in it.
My cloud machine is an airek(clone, both tobeco). Been using it on a mech with some 24g nichrome micro coils. Dual cuz airek doesn't do single coil mode.
If I had to choose 3 RDAs out of the however many I have (just picked up 3 more on a trade and yet to even touch them lol!) would have to be (in no particular order):
Doge - super airflow so can handle some heat without being super intense, easy to build.
Mutation X: Crazy airflow keeps it cool even at very low temps. Good flavor while still keeping the vapor dense.
Toss-up: Baal is nice, zenith for my bottom fed, about to get a derringer, and yet to build on LB or Legion so who knows?

Yep I have 2 1 copper and 1 ss and a white 1 on the way. Pretty much perfect to me the reason I PIFed most of my other rdas in the treasure chest
Igo-W easy to build on. Inexpensive.
Odin easy to build on. Nice deep wells. Huge!
Nuppin all about the flavor!

The tugboat is nice
Freak show mini if your looking for flavor ($30)
The troll for cloud chasing ($30)
My favorite all around rda is the marquis clone ($17 at eciggity). Gives great flavor and vapor and is super easy to build.
