10s are far and above my favorite. They are good enough to see a flop and if they don't improve it is simple to muck them. Also for the same reason 2s with the added benefit that you almost always get paid when you flop that set.

Obviously AA and KK are the hands I would always call an all-in pre-flop. But it really depends of the player we are playing against and our position. But I can say that KQ suited and J 10 suited are hands that usually i like, because i almost never lose with them!

my favourite starting hand is ace ace and I said the same in a thread hardly a week ago. I wish people would check if a very similar thread already exists before posting. All they have to do is use the search function. It gets boring when we get three or four threads asking the same question.

I personally like playing QJ suited and Q8 suited. By some reason I have hit and won quite a few large pots with these hands.
AA, KK, QQ and JJ are funny enough also among my favourite hands.
My "unlucky hands" are TT and 99 - I know they are strong but feel like I have lost more than won eith these hands.
Hands I do not like is AJ, KJ and 22. AJ and KJ are always dangerous even when you hit and 22 is absolutely awful when you don't hit trips. To me it is solely an all-in preflop hand (when extremely pressured) and otherwise only hitting trips gives it value. I suppose the same goes for 33, 44 and 55 - but still I always feel the most bad when I see 22
