Back in BC, I fell in love with the Talbuks. After leveling, it was the first thing I did--start working on my Mag'har rep. In fact, I believe that was my first ever exalted reputation. I got them all, but the one I wanted most--the one I truly fell in love with, was the Tan Riding Talbuk. I used it as my default ground mount for years.

Lately, though, I've changed mounts a lot. I used the Red flying disc for a long time, as both ground and flying default. But, right now, my main ground mount is my Shado Pan Blue Tiger. It matches Baihu (my white tiger pet) perfectly.
As for the flying mount, my default is the Grand Armored Windrider, simply because it is small and functional. As a Tauren, using the big drakes can be problematic, especially in crowds and near vendors. We're so big we often block people, and I hate being rude. But I do so LOVE my drakes. And my favorite is my Azure Drake. The moment I saw it (in patch notes before Wrath came out), I was desperate to have it. Not being a real, formal raider, however, I knew I was destined not to have it. This made me very very sad, and for a long time, I rode my "substitute" drake, the albino (also a very lovely drake, btw). But, recently, I farmed Malygos and got my Azure. So, now, whenever I can, that's the one I use to fly around.
