    A few of my favorite are

    Levitate: for the obvious reasons. However I've seen alot of people with dig and earthquake.

    Synchronize: Being able to return the favor is just polite... right?

    Apdatability: I liked this originally on my eevee. Since it is my favorite and I will plan on evolving it into many different kinds... its kind of a safe one for him.

    I could add alot more, but don't want to use all of the good ones. Also it also depends on how you make them compliment the abilities of your other pokemon.
     
    Adaptability, Guts, Quick Feet, and Natural Cure are the most handy for me.
    EDIT: Now I know why they never gave Tyranitar Guts, he'd be a nightmare with it :x

    I really like Inner Focus, Intimidate, Natural Cure, and Pressure
    But I only like these abilities when they're not being used against me lol
     
    Guts, Speed Boost, Levitate, Natural Cure, Hydration, Motor Drive, and Synchronize. There may be more, but i'm too bored to Edit. And Adaptibility on Eevee means you Hack, just so you know..

    Eevee with adaptability is 100% legit, its one of its abilities.
     
    I'm surprised no mention of Trace. Making your Porygon2 or Gardevior immune to all but super-effective attacks and picking off Shedinja with Dark Pulse/Shadow Ball has to be the best thing to do with it, although Sheddy's almost never seen. Shame more Pokemon didn't get the use of it, but it can still be effective
     
    I'm pretty fond of all the ones mentioned above, and probably for the same reasons. =]
    I'm just too lazy to list them myself =/

    I also really like the Download ability.
     
    Trace, Levitate, Adaptability, Arena Trap, Dry Skin, Sandstream, Magnet Pull and Intimidate has always been valuable in assisting me in battles =)
     
    Water Absorb - means I can set up belly drum Poliwrath on something like Milotic. "Free" healing is always good, too.
    Flash Fire - more fire power and immunity, isn't that awesome?
    Serene Grace - omg lol hax
     
    adaptability,wondergaurd,download,MOTOR DRIVE is kewl
     
    Traunt...no really, it's my favorite ability because it ruins a pokemon in some ways.

    But as far as the best, guts I'd have to say is best. and Magnet pull is awesome! Arena trap...notice a theme? lol
     
    Magic Guard is an amazing trait. I never realized how much I loved indirect damage until I faced a Clefable.
     
    Color Change ftw!
    Scrappy, Intimidate, Flash Fire, Levitate, Poison Heal, Speed Boost, Volt Absorb, Water Absorb.
