Well, I am the resident undead so I should post here.
My personal ride of my character Viktor Starkov in our roleplaying campaign that spawned my novel, in the 3025 era, Starkov rides a Trebuchet he stole from the dying Peter Chandler of 3025 Readout, and he shot down 7 battlemeches totalling 375 tons, including the Atlas of a Lyran general destroyed with a freak full LRM salvo to the head.
I love the Trebuchet, but I have upgraded to a Crusader taken from a pirate. I remember that when I was a kid and played our first Battletech games I managed to score a dozen victories with a Crusader.
So I like big gun 'Mechs but my greatest success have always been with missile boats.

I wasn't here 3,000 years ago when the hearts of men and dwarf failed etc LOTR reference farcical firey-mountain ceremony, but if there's a thread... Why not.
If it's a non-custom mech, it's the War Crow. Such a prestige ride. Runner up would be the Night Gyr. They have incredible style and mechwarriors always need to bring their brown pants.
If it's an RPG character custom, I keep being on the wrong side of the table. Of those written for named characters I've made, the Pillager PLG-A7X "Goldbeater." That has what I like.
I may have to question why many of the characters I've written are women in unfortunate circumstances who are held back by the incompetence of others. It does make a good situation for player characters to have something to work towards, I suppose.

My 3020 ride is and will always be the WVR-6M Wolverine.
Then 3055 changed all that with the appearance of the PTR-4D Penetrator!
Both have solid upgrades and room for some tweaking for personal preferences.

The Penetrator is my all-time favorite! People who hate on it have no idea how to play this game.

I have been known to add one to convention events just so you can take it.
