Articuno all the way for me! Zapdos is certainly the coolest of the bunch, but Articuno was simply beautiful. If there's one thing I can appreciate it's a beautifully designed Pokemon. Moltres seemed a tad bit lazy though. I felt like they could have done so much more with it. I'm really glad we got another fire bird in Ho-Oh to make up for it.
 
Mine would have to be Zapdos, because i'm the kind that likes cool designed Pokémon, and it has some good use in-game, even if it gets totally walled by most Ground-types.

Articuno does take hits extremely well though (except Rock), and STAB Ice Beam is nice so he's #2 of the three for me.

My favourite is Moltres. First and foremost, I like the name Moltres. I'm no etymologist but I'm pretty sure the name derives from "molton" and "très" (French) which makes "very hot". Moltres is a very hot bird and I like hot birds.

I have a 94 Firebird, and I just requested a MOLTRES personalized license plate, in 8-10 weeks it will be on my car <3
 
I did catch all of them in FR/LG, and HG/SS. But my favorite would definitely have to be Articuno. I mean, just that thing.... it looks marvelous! Especially in Emerald and FR/LG, haha. And because it was Ice/Flying meant it could knock out most Dragon-Types ;; and in one hit because it's a legendary :)

Moltres also was my second favorite, quite close. The flames coming of its body look amazing! I really like his Pokédex entry too. It mentions something about like wherever it flies it sets ablaze. Now srsly, how awesome would that be~
 
Articuno because it is majestic and graceful looking plus it save people from mountains
 
I feel Articuno had the best design, and his moves weren't half-bad either. Seems like everyone uses Zapdos these days.
 
I caught all three and liked all three.

Ignoring their performance in battle, I really liked Articuno best because it was so gorgeous! I still think it's the best looking one of the three!
 
Articuno! In the Pokemon Movie that featured the legendary birds, I was fascinated by Articuno's majestic, beautiful appearance. Moltres and Zapdos looked quite villainous and not the type of Pokemon I'd want to have to control. Articuno was the odd one out, and she continues to be one of my favorite legendaries in the series.
 
Zapdos was always my fav. Articno is very good too. I don't like nor hate Molters. I Think Articno got better design then Molters. But no one is better then Zapdos and its sparkling spiky wings.
 
Zapdos is my Favorite. I love his design and move set. The other two are not that far behind, but Zapdos was my first legendary and I treasure it.
 
I've always had a soft spot for Articuno, I really like its cry, design and even its location captured my imagination.

Zapdos is a close second I'd say, mainly because I really like both Electric and Ice types.

Moltres is kinda meh for me. It always seemed silly to place it in Victory Road back in the original versions but I found myself enjoying capturing it more in the remakes atop of Mt. Ember.
