Gosh, that's a tough question. It's almost like asking which is your favorite kid. For asthetics, I prefer my .40 cal. Flintlock Lancaster and my Boltinghouse half stock caplock .54 cal. plains rifle. Actually, it has prettier wood and metal than my Lancaster but I like the looks of a flintlock long rifle so much better. For offhand shooting, I prefer either my .45 cal. underhammer or my .54 cal mule ear caplock full stock plains rifle. Both are quite accurate enough and so much lighter than my other guns. As I get older, the weight of a rifle becomes more and more important.
Of all of my rifles, the Boltinghouse is the most accurate. It is a real tack driver but it is so dang heavy. It feels like carrying a railroad tie around. But you put that sweet thing on a bench rest and it really shines. I have a target that I have saved that has five shots at 50 yards that are one hole. No, I can't do that all the time but that is because of me, not the rifle. The rifle can do it every time but this old fart can't.
