It might be interesting to see an imaginative answer to the troll.
"Donald Duck", "Micky Mouse", "Tony Gaza", "George W. Bush"
and so on are pretty obvious.

It is so hard to choose a favorite because all of them have something
different to say, there are some I find more intersting than others.
The ones I like are Aristotle, Spinoza, Hume, Kant and Nietzsche

But those popperKuhnians use the same reasoning powers and even
methods as the duck or Sherlock Homes, loc.

The hypothetical-deductive method (HD method) is a very important
method for testing theories or hypotheses. It is sometimes said to be
"the scientific method". This is not quite correct because surely
there are many methods being used in scientific research. In any case,
the application of the hypothetical-deductive method can be divided
into four stages :

Identify the theory or the hypothesis
to be tested.

Generate predications from the theory.

Lars Von Trier. I will be shelving my DVD of *Dogville* right next to
my collection of Kierkegaard--and not because of the Danish thing. I
could shove a Danish roll in there for that.

But what would make a worthy place-holder for Dogville, when I take it
out to study it again, to get more out of that dialogue in the
limousine between Grace and The Big Man? No, it will not be
Nietzsche's Twilight of the Idols that I will slide in--it would not
be weighty enough in substance to serve the space.

So I realize there is no one work of the philosophical literature
suited to the purpose, it would take a whole raft of things . . .

Easier to name those who aren't my favourite:

Rand (her shallow knowledge of philosophy)
Wittgenstein (feeble..feeble philosopher admired by philosophical
eunuchs)
Rae Langton/MacKinnon/Dworkin
Marx (A clumsy thinker)
Rorty (Not even a thinker).

Most of the others have something to say of lasting importance
