Probably too many to list!!

this is an open question, as you're invinting many, many opinions!!

What other critiria is required? ease of build? Completeness of kit? flyign qualities? Type of flying? Scale kit?

My top three:

Sig Something Extra
(Well, just about any Sig plane!!)
Great planes Slow Poke sport 40
(OK, a goofy / cartoony looking thing, but a turely 'great plane'! But then again, jsut about any Great Planes plane!)
Goldberg Chip w/ fiberglass parts...
