Fire Blast, Cold Domination, and Kinetics are my favorite sets. I wouldn't be able to pick just one.
I realized the other day that the Blaster secondary Energy Manipulation might be my favorite powerset in the game due entirely to Power Thrust. There is nothing I find more enjoyable in this game than running up behind a low level minion on ledge and seeing how far I can launch them.
your = Belonging to you.
you're = Contraction meaning "You are."
Ur = The name of an ancient Mesopotamian city.
ur = This is not a word.
Super Strength
Overall? Titan Weapons. There's something just plain satisfying about whalloping an entire group for some pretty massive damage. My current Titan Weapon character is a Brute, leaving me with a diesel engine of war.

It was claws. It may very well be street justice now.
Be well, people of CoH.
Hard to choose like that, but I love:
Invul
Fire Blast
Cold defenders and corruptors

Playing since i3 on 8 servers
I used to be head over heels in love with Mind Control. And I still think it's a great set.
But as of late, I'm starting to really love a certain melee set on beta right now 
Oh, and I love both Willpower and Super Reflexes!

<-- boy
Street Justice 
If it only had a shield charge power [as a shoulder charge] then i'ld marry it today!
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
Having been on beta, it's looking to become Staff Fighting.
Dual Pistols! I love it so! I just wish it didn't feel so low on damage compared to the other blast sets I've used.
Time Manipulation! Only the low almost unnoticable -Regen makes me sad with this set. And I just love Chrono Shift's animation. Really need a melee version of this set just for that animation alone!

It is really hard to pick just one set, since there are so many fun ones. I've only tried out a few sets, too, so this is all subject to change. Right now, my two favorites are Gravity Control and Storm summoning. But not together.
Gravity control is one of my favorites for three reasons: Lift, Singularity, and Wormhole. Lift is a fun power with a tiny mez effect. I just love seeing the enemies suddenly fly up and smash their head on the roof of a cavern with a flick of my wrist. Great DPAT, too. Singularity is arguably the most awesome pet in the control sets, boasting tank like resistances, good supplement control powers, nice damage, and that wicked repel + knockback effect that can single-handedly stop approaching swarms. Singularity is basically a second troller on the team.
But, the focus of the set is undoubtedly Wormhole. As new I-trial content is made, this power just becomes more and more awesome. It is a group mez + group relocation power, and in open air maps it is a damage power if you shoot them straight into the air (It's raining men!). You can use it offensively and port groups around a corner into hazards, you can use it defensively and port enemies very far away or off cliffs/buildings, you can use it tactically to relocate area-specific enemies in I-trials. The hilarity of the entire group slowly realizing what was happening right when they port into the air and fall into the abyss never gets old. When I first got wormhole, I must've spent an hour in Cap Au Diable just teleporting enemies as high as I could get them, and watching them die due to fall damage.
I can't wait for I22 to improve wormhole. I already have the set, so everyone gets to watch me as I throw enemies around like ragdolls.
Storm control has a similar set of toolbox powers. But the thrill of storm summoning isn't the particular usefulness of the powers, but the feel of the powers. When you let lose Hurricane and Tornado and Lightning Storm, you just feel like you're indestructible. Though those powers can be a tad bit annoying for a group, they both feel powerful and are powerful. Hurricane can easily be slot for enough -tohit to let you tank as a troller. Tornado can either scatter aggro and mez enemies, or it can do a ton of damage when paired with -KB or against EBs and AVs. Lightning storm throws enemies about, does damage surprisingly quickly, and can even mez when paired with the right procs.
Combine that with Freezing Rain and Steamy Mist, and to enemy groups the Storm troller/defender/dom must look like the angel of death.

Dark Miasma.
Willpower is my favouritest shield set.

Talking of Michelangelo.
This is a toughy... I have several.
I have every possible combo with illusion and with plant, so those are definitely my two favourites. Though I used to have a "thing" for the grav set. Oh, and just about anything with fire blast. Mmmm

My Characters
After a long affair with Kinetic Melee, I have come back to Claws for my Claws/Regen Brute.
Street justice, followed by mace, and then energy blaster.
I just rocked Dark Blast on a Blaster this weekend. Wow! Very nice set. If it had a Ranged Crashless Nuke I would marry it. As it is it is just a great utilitarian ranged powerset, not the top of control, or damage, or range, but good in all 3. Oh, and a ranged siphon life. Yeah.
Dual Pistols, Fire Melee and Fire Aura and henchmen. Yes that last one is broad. I did that on purpose ;D
Fire blast. Though if the rest of Titan Weapons is anything like the first 18 levels, I may have a new favorite coming down the pipe.
Street Justice. Soon it will be Staff Melee, which is weird because it is a weapon I can't stand in real life.
For secondary powers it is a coin toss between electric armor and energy aura.
Types of Swords
My Portfolio
It was Energy Blast, until I discovered Dominator Energy Assault, which combines cosmic blasting with cosmic punching all in one set.
Whatever I am playing at the time.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
Pretty much the title.
I personally am in love with Katana right now.
Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.
