Hmm, only obtainable mounts? (I'd list the Heavenly Azure in here but it's currently not in game. Sad face.)

1. Raven Lord
1.2. Azure Drake (This is pretty much tied for first place. Raven=Favorite Ground, Azure=Favorite Air)
3. Azure Cloud Serpent (Heavenly if it were in game)
4. Heavenly Onyx Cloud Serpent (Don't Have.)
5. Sapphire Panther
6. Corrupted Fire Hawk (Don't have.)
7. Drake of the South Wind (Don't have. Have North, which is close.)
8. Ironbound Proto Drake (Don't have.)
9. Winged Guardian (Don't have.)
10. Cobalt Riding Talbuk

Of course this is my list of favorites, because to me "top" means what I like the most.

Edit:
I forgot about the new Pandaren phoenixes.. oh well. It's so hard to pick 10.

1. Red Flying Cloud

^ This mount has quietly taken over. I force myself to use other mounts sometimes. The other nine, in alphabetical order:

Amber Scorpion
Argent Hippogryph
Azure Water Strider
Brewfest Ram
Green Riding Nether Ray
Sandstone Drake
Swift Razzashi Raptor
Traveler's Tundra Mammoth
Ultramarine Qiraji Battle Tank

I love cloud serpents in theory, but in practice they are just too big for me.

Oh god, there's so many mounts I love, and some of these might be biased since I own some of them already. I never know exactly how much I love a mount until I have it!

10. Invincible - Really nice, unique mount. People say it's a reskinned star-pony but there's so much more to Invincible than that. (Don't own it though.)
09. Blue Shado-Pan Riding Tiger - Absolutely stunning. Not much more to say than that. (Also don't own it. Yet.)
08. Violet Pandaren Phoenix - I adore the colour purple, especially in darker shades. So this mount just takes the cake for me. (Once again, don't own it! Hopefully I can one day!)
07. Dark War Talbuk - I always loved the talbuk mounts and this is one, even to this day, is still pretty tricky to achieve. Makes it feel really worth the effort though.
06. Azure Drake - A really nice mount, but I never found it to be a favourite like most people. The armour to me looks 'plastered' on and kinda tacky, but still somehow manages to look lovely.
05. Onyx Cloud Serpent - I adore the cloud serpents and this one, to me, was the one I wanted ever since I saw the model. (Don't own it yet.)
04. Corrupted Hippogryph - Hnng. One day. One day...
03. Phosphorescent Stone Drake - Green and purple? In one mount? As soon as I grabbed this mount, he became my almost permanent flyer.
02. Raven Lord - Unique, beautiful mount and not easy to obtain. Been in love with it ever since I got it.
01. Ashes of Al'ar - That one mount I wanted since the day I knew it existed. I have *just* been able to start soloing for it, so... soon hopefully. Soon.
