Hmm...

Favorite- Silver Bantams (Mini Appleyards). They are beautiful and extremely sweet and friendly, by far my most outgoing ducks. A close second would probably be a tie for Australian Spotteds and now Overbergs. Both are also very friendly. I have really fallen in love with the Mini Overbergs.

As far as larger ducks, I would probably have to say Runners are my favorite overall. I love how funny they are and that they come in so many different colors. I have some Runners also that are extremely friendly.
 
My favorites are my Dutch Hookbills!

They're the calmest, most friendly ducks I have. They've been very trusting of people since the day I got them - plus they're egg-laying machines that lay pretty, blue-tinted eggs!

Edited to add: My new little White Call drake would probably come in second - just because he's such an obstinate little bugger for so small a duck!

I love Muscovies!!!
They are so quiet and very friendly.
The eggs are incredibly tasty and the meat is very lean (if you eat them).

Welsh Harlequins.

Very friendly (almost too friendly since they mob me when I go to their pen. It's hard to fill food dishes and water jugs when you are tripping over ducks!!!).
GREAT egg layers.
Pretty colors.
Great personalities.
Will brood their own ducklings. (Since my incubator sucks this is a big plus
