Aside from the one that feels so good, what body and configuration seduces you the most.  The one you can't take your eyes off.  The one you long to hold.  
 
I like the perky horns and big round bottom of the early Distillate...

HI,  
  I also have an early 81 Distillate and a 97 standard point Series II.
 
 I seem to like those body style designs but One of these days I think I am going to have a custom body Series II  built. The shape is still in the design stages in my mind .

For me, it's the Exploiter (of course), the SC, the Essence, and the Epic.  I like the Europa as well, but with a Signature electronics package.  The Balance K is a winner IMHO, as is the EVH.  Not a fan of the Standard Point or anything with an omega, but that's just me.

Oh, and the Dragon's Wing?  One of my faves.

My personal favourite is the simple and elegant Essence's bodyshape (although I love my Rogue).  
 
My dream is to order a 6 string Essence with Rogue's eletronics equiped with one of those 3 stages Q switch. Mahogany Body, Maple/Ebony laminate Neck, Maple accent and figured Walnut, Redwood or ony other dark wood on Top, MOP oval inlay and matching Headstock.
Not just a bass, this is an Alembic!

CR's series balance K is sexy beautiful! Or Flax's Dire Wolf...
I luv a fancy neck thru!
Wish I could own one

I'm partial to the small standard body. I also like the Europa/Orion body shape.

For bass my fave is Small Standard Body Shape. Elan, Europa. I'm not keen on the large body shapes, points or cutouts although I admire/appreciate the design.

I love the Spoiler body.  If they only had a proper headstock........
I also like the Standard Point & Omega a lot, and the Europa.  The Dragonwing is beautiful, but not something I'd want, if that makes sense.

I agree , a spoiler with an  Alembic Crown Headstock would be swell !
