I like almost all f-bodies so I'll just put down my least favorite
93-97 T/A's I hate that front end. Always thought the firebird and formula looked better in those years.
The 76 firebird ,I love any other 2nd gen but again the front end doesn't look so good with that bumper cover.

Easy, but cop-out answer: I like them all for one reason or another.
Although the 82-83 TA's make my "like list" only for their Recaro seats. Not much else stands out.

Yea the 93-97 TA's front ends were nice when they 1st came out but as soon as the 98's came out they started to look dated fast. I always though the LT1 formula front ends were herendous

Hey! 
I never really liked the 2nd gens either but they grow on you after a while if you own one.

Favorite: First gens, and not just because I own one.
Least favorite- 82-86 third gens. Had nothing going for them stock. Weak engine, weak trannys, weak rears, style that got dated fast.

My favorite's would be 77 and 78 TA's thats why I own my 77. Second fav is the 70 formula. My least favorite is 74, 75 firebirds. The bumpers just are not nice looking. 70 thru 81 birds are also ugly.

I'LL HAVE TO GO WITH THE 1991/1992 FIREHAWK FORMULA, WITH THE 2002 RED CAMARO 35th ANNIVERSARY(with the silver flags on the hood)and ALL the SLP goodies on it, a close 2nd.  Least favorite would be the 1982/83 FIREBIRD with the bowling ball caps.

I hated those wheels too. But those early 3rd gens had an uncluttered look I like. I think that is why I like 3rd gen (pre-swoopy nose) formulas too.

I love most of them. I'd have to say I'm a little more of a Firebird guy than Camaro though. My favorites are;
1969 Firebird convertible
1974-1976 Formulas
LT-1 Firehawks
LS-1 Formulas
Early 3rd gen Camaros
1979-1981 Firebirds
