My favorite?? All of 'em...plus more than a few I don't own yet....
My favorite non-airgun is my wife's S&W .32 revolver. It belonged to her grandfather and actually saw service in the Korean War (he was a pilot). Silly-accurate in capable hands, too. Otherwise, they are all tools to me, and much like a hammer, handsaw, or jack-plane, I don't have a favorite because I love them all equally.

I hope to someday have a Rossi R92 in .357 that will surely be my favorite.

I have multiple Estwings, from the modern 20 ounce ripper to a ancient leather-washer "shorty" 20 ounce ripping hammer that is, well, OLD. A number of tack drivers, cross-pein, drilling, framing, roofing, drywall, sledge, ball-pein, finishing, furniture, soft-blow, no-bounce, brass-faced, and even a couple burnishing hammers. Different tool for a different job. I only buy hammers that feel right in my hand, and that totally depends on what I'm doing. I will say my 20 ounce Estwings ripping hammers get the most use, especially my anti-vibration one. It has a slightly longer handle than the leather-washer-handle model, and was used 8+ hours a day 5+ days a week for a number of years.To me, they are all just tools. Nowe axes? That's another story. I have a Kelley-Perfect axe I adore and wouldn't let anybody borrow, ever.
