For the tech faction, my favorites are the battlemachines and airships. Archers are very nice too, but lots of factions have it...

Any ranged unit is good for me, which is generally archers, not a fan of melee units at all.

Hmm, seeing you only list units found in the default Magitech techtree, it looks like you are in need of some mods. Mods totally change the game providing new factions (such as the ones containing units listed above). See: Mods/List (https://docs.megaglest.org/Mods/List).

Before I list a (short) list, note that "favorite" is a wishy-washy word. Does that mean hardest hitting? Most practical? In a well made mod, all units have strengths and weaknesses. Some might be very effective against one type of unit, where-as another might be well rounded against all types, and so on. Thus, the gameplay circumstances impact the unit's performances quite a lot. As well, a unit can be strong in the beginning of the game, but would be outclassed late game. That doesn't make it a bad unit, it's just meant for earlier on. The speed that you like to play at (eg, rushing versus turtling) can affect that.

At any rate:
Tech
-Battlemachine
-Airship

Magic
-Archmage
-Dragon

Elves
-Griffon Rider

Dark Magic
-Dark Elder

Dwarves
-Bombard

Persian
-Elephant
-Flying Carpet

Norseman
-Flying valkrie

Apocalyptic Dawn
-Missile Silo (Nukes: They're that awesome)
-Special Op
[If we count the WIP version, the BM-30 Smerch is pretty epic, aside from the extremely slow rate of fire)

Battlemage.  That is all.

From a charm perspective I really like the Martian's workers.

From an awesomeness perspective its the Martian beacon/capsule.

When playing classic I usually go with Tech.  I like building lots of airships, but I am not effective using them.
