My favorite is probably Demon Summoning. If you are counting all the villain power sets as non-original (since technically they didn't appear until CoV) then Robotics is also way up there... the bots are my favorite pets but demons are a close second and the whip attacks look great so that puts it slightly ahead of the bots.
Dual Blades, Dual Pistols, and Kinetic Melee are all very cool looking, I just prefer hordes of fire and ice flinging demons or laser and missile blasting bots. 
Cascade, level 50 Blaster (NRG/NRG since before it was cool)
Mechmeister, level 50 Bots / Traps MM
FAR too many non-50 alts to name

Masterminds.

Looking at it from a purely numerical/statistical standpoint:
Shield Defense
Sonic Blast
Plant Control
Thermal Radiation
Elec Control. On a Domi it's a great powerset very well suited to quick moving steamrollering teams with it's array of light, quick recharging AOE mezzes and drain.
Although Umbral Blast and Umbral Aura are also great in terms of having lots of really fun powers and tricks in there.
Shields and WP for armor sets, the entire Mastermind AT, Sonic Blast, etc etc etc.

In terms of looks and appearance, I would have to say that the Kheldian powersets, both Warshade and Peacebringer, look great. Naturally, I like the look of Peacebringer powers better, but they're both nice.
They're not so hot in terms of performance, but when I make a new hero, I'm always tempted to choose Peacebringer.
Willpower
No one pays attention to me, cause I listen to the voices in my head.
Has to be Robotics Masterminds. Not only are many of the animations only commonly found on Robotics (the upgrade harnesses, Swarm Missiles) but it also has it's own little Easter Egg.
Use a Group Fly power on Robotics henchmen. They have rocket boots!
Now that's dedication to a powerset!
Kin melee, i actually dont like it that much but its juts looks SOOOOOO cool 
Willpower, good old reliable willpower.
Robot MMs, pew pew boom crash whoosh BOOM!
SD, a good mix of offense and defense
Cold Domination, epic debuffs
traps, time bomb ftw :P

Seconded. It's hard to think of another set that carried the game into such new conceptual territory and had such a large amount of built in customization.

Willpower for me. It's such a simple set-and-forget set that does everything you need it to do. It's possibly even too good. Other sets really don't stack up to do all the things that WP does. Not just in the survival department, but it has perks like end management, perception, and a complete set of status protection that most other sets can only dream of. It's always an option for any melee I make to just use WP as a quick go-to secondary. It's low maintenance and easy to improve.|

Widows as an AT are just epics done right. Very good job on them.
Plant Control and Earth Assault are flipping amazing powersets, especially combined.

What about Dual Blades? The only set with combos, speaking of new conceptual territory, and you can customize each weapon differently.

I think that the VEATs are something special.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
I would havta say Super Strength and Willpower because there is nothing more awesome than u punch a baddie in his face or throwing an epic uppercut tht knocks him off his feet or stomping ur foot and have 10 to 12 guys fly up in the air and come crashin down like a bunch of rag dolls but when the baddie hits you u regen like nothin happened and keep smashing
Professor Smoque - Lvl 50 Fire/Fire Blaster
Little Smoquey - Lvl 50 Fire/Kin Controller
Papa Smoque - Lvl 50 Stone/Fire/Earth Tanker

UnNown - Lvl 50 SS/WP Brute

Cold Domination, without a doubt.
Kinetic Melee is a close-ish second though.
Siberian Spring-50 (Cold/Rad, Rad/Ice, Ice/Rad, Sh/Ice) - KGB SS8
Chernozem-50 (Ice/MM, Emp/Ice, MA/Regen) - KGB SS8
Wila-50 (Dark/Arch) - KGB SS8
Also: Krassivy Mechtayu-50 (Ill/Rad) - KGB SS8; Ms. Hypatia-50 (Dark/Regen)
You can use any basis; looks, dynamics, synergy with a preexisting primary or secondary. Can't be a pre-existing powerset that was ported to a new AT.
It's a tough one for me but I would have to go with MM Robotics fun, powerful, and awesome looking
Runners up
-DB awesome looking aoe madness, something I had been wanting for years before it appeared and you can bet I voted for it way back when
-Kin Melee almost exactly what I wanted from a "light melee" powerset
-SD not something I cared much for conceptually but I love the freedom you have with it in regards to shields
-Electric Melee teleport in your face aoe? yes please
