Favorite Main Rider: OOOs. As much as I love Den-O, Den-O has kind of been diluted by endless crossover appearances. Eiji's straightforward good-nature and desire to protect people makes him maybe my favorite. Faiz does have an AMAZING belt voice, but I will never get "TA TO BA!" out of my head.
Favorite Secondary Rider: Rider G3/G3-X. In a cast that included a dude awkwardly ascending to godhood and a biocreature capable of ripping powerful monsters to bits, Kamen Rider G3 is just a police officer in a hardsuit trying to keep things calm with good intentions and some basic weapons. For crying out loud, his "transformation sequence" is that he runs into the back of a truck and a team of cops help him get armored up.
Favorite Evil Rider: ...does Ankh count? No, probably not. Uh. Kamen Rider Tiger maybe. Huge spoilers though. Also I don't like to think about Ryuki much. I think that show gave me PTSD.
Favorite Rider Theme: In spite of everything, I still love Den-O and its support cast of goofy-ass Imagin. Momotaros is overexposed though. Let Ryutaros have the spotlight for a while dangit. Fun dance dragon wants to play. *sulk*
In general I love the show when it's being unabashedly fun and weird, when it's showing the best side of heroic humanity or when it's letting inhuman monsters have a heart and soul.

That said, let me have a swing here...
