Takato is easily my favorite because he was the protagonist of my dreams.
He wasn't loud, brash, and willing to jump into any situation head first with no plan (Like, literally, all his fellow "Leaders"), he wasn't some sort of ultimate chosen one, he wasn't the best in every regard (Sans intelligence, which seems to be the one trait that another character gets), hell, he wasn't even the first on his "Team" (For lack of a better word) to even evolve.

I liked Takato because his adventure with Guilmon wasn't a fun romp though the flowers, despite him wishing it was. He faced strife from every corner, be it rogue Digimon, fellow tamers, Impmon, the Devas, Yamaki, and even his own parents. Watching Takato was a true character arc, following him through the childlike wonder of having a Digimon, to how bad things can actually get, to the complete breakdown he had seeing how brutal a fight can get, and ultimately to him growing up, taking charge, and doing what needs to get done.

It sets him apart from the other Digimon protagonists, and I love it.
