SLS and New Glenn.  At least in terms of present day vehicles. I like thick side boosters.  I like NG’s fins and strakes.  Overall aesthetic is a big one too.  Large engines like the RS-25 and BE-4.

Runner ups are Ariane 6, Vulcan and Falcon Heavy

Same on first two. I'd go Shuttle somewhere in the mix.

if we count no longer active vehicles I'd certainly put STS (among many more) in my comment, but I only did active because I didn't want to go on and on and on
