DoW.

Starcraft is a game of rock paper scissors to see who wins a lot of the time.
Only C&C game I've liked was Tiberian Sun and Firestorm. And the fact that the computer cheated in so many ways didn't hurt it too.
C&C RA 1 and 2 plus their expansions were fun, but 3 is looking bad at the moment. Pretty sure EA is going to wreck it.
AoE has too much emphasis on resource gathering. When 1/3 of your units are resource gathering units, I find that thats a bit out of hand.
Warcraft 3 and TFT were fun, but I had more fun with the single player than I did with anything else, and that didn't last too long.
Starcraft: truth!
CnC: I actually enjoyed every CnC I played so far (every single one except for that first person one and Generals). And although EA totally screwed CnC3 up I enjoy it. I still enjoy it. Can't wait for RA3, looks pretty good to me... except for this damn securom and DRM thing. How can they be so foolish?
AoE: Great game and all, but gets boring quickly.
Warcraft: same here, mostly single player.

StarCraft. I played that game for 4 years straight. It never gets old, even playing with Koreans. :D
 
What about Empire Earth? And although it wasn't a franchise, my favorite RTS is Empires: Dawn of the Modern World.
 
I loved my starcraft, I played it when I was 4 to this age right now, even though playing melee when your bored is fun! I like dawn of war also, including the dark crusade, but soulstorm.... I hate the dang flamers of battle! takes your morale down rapidly, but dies easily. And I liked warcraft also, but its REALLY hard to fight the AI in my level of tactics right now.
 
starcraft no brainer. The other games are all pretty awesome, but starcraft is just 2 leagues above the rest.
 
For their day nothing can touch SC/BW or AoE II. The original AoE kinda stank so I chose SC for my favorite franchise.
 
Warcaft and Age of Empire used to be my favourite ones, but I`m find them a bit boring now. Play them now and then.
