Kramnik and Carlsen, in that order. The first for his style, amazing accuracy, fighting spirit and general character, the second mostly for fighting spirit and amazingly fast improvement.
to wormwood and erekose, my guy beat your guy today 🙂
Carlsen is easy to get excited about. Excellent tactical skill, good positional play and deep opening novelties (he must study a lot).
Kramnik is just dull. He plays very correct chess and doesn't flinch from a fight when its the best option (unlike, say, Leko), but its typically dull.
Morozevich isn't quite in the same class as Kramnik (I don't think so, anyway), but he's made him look bad several times. Not today, though.

[whispering]But you gotta realise, if I let everyone know you're my favourite chess player...and give reasons why...then they're all gonna be lining up to play chess with you...and then you'd be neglecting me, Robbie! 😠😳:'(😞😀😵 [/whispering]
