Inquisitor and the TAP in general.
If the Fang Fighter is anyway close to that dial, I'll be in love.
My favorite ship to play? So nice of you to ask.
A new contender, a Defender with Tractor Beam and TIE/D, is almost criminally fun. I prefer to add Vessery, Ruthlessness, and Mk 2 Engine, but literally any double-tap Defender is great fun.
I love the IG-2000. Great dial, fun ships and four choices. Love it.
Me, I enjoy the Tie/Fo. Omega Ace and Leader both with Juke and Relay. I can't tell you how fun it is to pop Ace's 3 crits with relay on a target with 1 evade and Juke it away.
Mine's always been the Y-wing, since I first saw a Star War. In XWM, I've run them in every conceivable combination, iteration, and formation.
Wishbones are the most Star Warsy of all the Star Wars ships.
TIE/D Ion Cannon Defender.
"I'm sorry, this asteroid really wants to meet you!"
Would I be terrible to say I love the jumpmaster? The dial is crazy, so many options, but you always have to think a turn ahead. I love it, especially the barrel roll.

No, not terrible. Unless you're running 3 of them.
[i'm teasing. Obviously somebody has to run 3 of them since they are pretty decent and I don't begrudge anybody for that.]
My top three is.
1. TIE Interceptor
2. G1-A
3. TIE/fo
The Decimator, and now the Ghost as well. Nothing makes me happier than ramming a massive ship with a bunch of attack dice in the face of my opponent and watching him squirm as he tries to deal with it...
All of them.
I think I love the YV-666 and A-Wing equally...
Torn. As a loyal Imperial I want to say the interceptor or gozanti... but it's probably the plain, disposable Awing prototype with refit. They are just so... zippy, happy and disposable.
That said Rudor has become the comedy star of my group's current campaign. Very "I'll get you next week". He survives every game, but crippled. No matter how determinedly he dogs and harasses the fleeing terrorist scum. Shaking his fist at them through his shattered tie canopy as they complete their objective and jump to hyperspace... taking his carrier with them last game.
Bossk and the YV-666. Fun to kit out (Dengar and Gunner being fav ride-alongs) and I love the 0-move (I'm putting on the brakes Goose, and gonna let em fly on by).
I love the K-Wing. Between the bombs and ordnance options, and being the sole carriers of the best freakin' action in the game, they've found a place in my heart.
I keep falling in love with Soontir, then being mildly frustrated at just how gosh darn defensive he is, when really I just like his zingy speed; I prefer aggression to caution.
Fenn has me desperately, desperately hoping they've nailed his dial right, and then I may just be the happiest gamer about.
Phantoms are still my favourite. they look great and fly fun
T-65. :<

Hipster.
The Interceptor, particularly Soontir.
Yes, true, Soontir: the most fun and highest risk/reward on the mat.
I don't think that "highest risk/reward" is accurate. He's great at staying out of arcs and even he can't has a great chance of avoiding any damage. Something like Talonbane Cobra, Autoblaster Kavil, Crackshot Wedge, or Opportunist/HLC Keyan are all higher risk and higher reward than Soontir Fel.
Depends entirely on how you fly Soontir. His pile of actions allows him to be effective being either aggressive or passive. If you're super cautious, then you're correct, he is a hard ship to bring down, while not doing anything special on offense. If you take Targeting Computer instead of Stealth Device and use his actions for offense (ensure you're at range one with a TL and focus) rather than defense, I would argue that Soontir is higher risk/reward than any of those you mentioned.
I guess as much as I love the K, I do have to give special mention to a few less cool but still fascinating ships
that all happen to have non-K red maneuvers that just feel so reinvigorating after playing since Wave 4
sadly don't have any of Xizor showing off some sexy segnor's, but I can show off the sexy commissioned paint scheme!
Cartel Marauder.
I don't know how, it just happened.
Vessery with HLC oppurtunist and twin ion engine. When you fly him correctly, garunteed 5 hits every time.
