diplodocus is my favorite. How about you?
I calculated the odds of this succeeding vs the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid, and I went ahead and did it anyways.

Parasaurolophus, edmontosaurus, maiasaura, and pretty much all other hadrosaurids (Better known as "duckbilled dinosaurs").

T-rex and Guanlong. I've always liked creatures whose descendants end up as powerful and famous as the T-rex. I also like Dilophosaurus, and still like to imagine it being able to spit venom even though this wasn't the case.

My most wanted fight ever is Discord vs Bobobo-bo bo-bobo.
Godzilla has a regen like Wolverine, a skin like Luke Cage, a hero aura like Captain America, a strength like Hulk, an unstoppability like Juggernaut, an immortality like Deadpool.

There's a 'God' in Godzilla for a reason...

I've always liked the good ol' Allosaurus. He's like T. rex, but with bigger arms and cooler eye crests.

But Deinonychus is cool too. Not as big as overwhelmingly big as movieraptors, but not as tiny as a real Velociraptor either. Balance!

As with most things, I couldn't pick a definitive favorite. Triceratops, Stegosaurus, and their various reletives are right up there, though. I've always liked big, powerful herbivore animals that are capable of fighting back against predators. With the ceratopsians, I think it's cool that they look like sort of a reptilian equivalent to modern mammals like rhinos or buffalo. Familiar, yet alien at the same time. Then the stegosaurs aren't really like any large animal we have today, but that's part of their appeal. The plates and spines are so strange, like something that should belong on a dragon instead of a real animal.

T-Rex, definitely. For second place it's a contest between Spinosaurus and Utahraptor.
