I've always liked Pignite's design, it's definitely the most unique out of them and the determined look it has on its face really ties the whole package together. I like Combusken's design as well, but I think the design strays too much from what Torchic and Blaziken look like, so it comes in a close second. Due to the simplicity of the design and the fact that it doesn't look very much like its evolution or pre evolution, in terms of color, Charmeleon is my least favorite.

Charmeleon > Combusken > Quilava >>> Monferno >>>>>>>> Pignite

I find charmeleon to be the best looking because of its resemblance to a small dinosaur/dragon, very simple yet exciting.
Combusken has a cool thing going for it, it looks double kick asap, plus its a fighting fire chicken, what's not to like? [also hoenn was my favorite region, its only natural i like the pokemon native to it]
Quilava evolves early, and has a simplistic design and name.

Monferno and Pignite were just meh. I don't know exactly why, but there's something i don't like about them.

Meh, I voted for Charmeleon. I'm not sure if that's just nostalgia voting for me or my preference for pyrogenic reptiles.

Despite Charmander being my favourite starter and my general dislike for the Chimchar evolutionary chain (and most of the fourth generation Pokémon), this is my list in order of preference.

Quilava > Monferno > Charmeleon > Combusken > Pignite

I have to admit that they all look pretty awesome. Quilava is possibly one of the coolest looking Pokémon ever. I think Monferno was well designed, and though it's similar to Chimchar and Infernape, I prefer it by a long shot. Charmeleon is just awesome and despite being quite similar to Charmander, it still looks so much tougher. Combusken is also pretty cool. Probably my favourite in its evolutionary chain. Pignite is a bit fat, but he's able to pull it off with his awesome gloves and badass facial expression. So yeah, I actually a fan of all five of them.

It makes me wonder, why is it always fire starter? Why not some love for other starter type as well as this make as grass guy like me feel so sad

Quilava just to avoid over voting of Charmeleon. Plus, Quilava can be treated as pet not like the other that might potentially attack you.
