Not necessarily favourites but my thoughts:

SP: In the beginning of the season I fell so hard for Nathan's SP. I went to SA with excitement to see that SP live. But, to my greatest disappointment, the quality of that fantastic routine deteriorated from competition to competition by tossing different jumps all over the place, by horrible designer outfits, by a demeanor not going well with the music, ... :disapp:

LP: In the beginning of the season I was so disappointed by Yuzuru's decision to recycle Seimei, but when he got injured and couldn't skate I was overjoyed for such a decision. He could not go on Olympic ice and did what he did if not for the sake of the programs he was so familiar with. The man has an unconscious precognition. So, yes, Yuzuru's Seimei in Olympic was one of the best LPs of the season.

Satoko Miyahara’s short program (but NOT that dress)
Carolina Kostner’s short program
Evgenia Medvedeva’s free skate

I like some repeats but since they’re repeat programs so no need to count.

Ladies:
Short: Kaetlyn Osmond (it's a brilliant program for her)
Long: Satoko Miyahara for PCS and Alina's for TES and Evgenia for best music change!

Men:
Short: Elladj Balde's Sound of Silence, Hanyu, Patrick's Dust in the Wind, Misha Ge and Shoma
Long: Hanyu, Brezina, Misha Ge and Javier

Pairs:
Short: S/M have the best short program of the year with their short program from last year :)dance: to That Man-which I bought on itunes I like it so much), J/C's Make it Rain, S/B's Everybody wants to Rule the world, T/M's Rachmaninoff and Z/K (Austrian team)'s Sunshine on Leith program.
Long: S/M's long is perfect for them, S/B's My Love, Z/K's Coldplay and D/R's return to Hometown Glory. There are others. I'm drawing a blank at the moment.

Dance:
Short: (I'm so glad the Rumba is over for this year) I thought all three Canadian teams did a great job with the pattern this year so V/M, G/P and W/P were all favourites. I really enjoy P/C's Shape of you program. I was surprised because for some reason I wasn't sure when I heard they had chosen that music but once I listened to it I was sold. The shibs had the best short dance out of all the American teams to me. I thought G/F also had an excellent SD. K/R were also great.

Long: (there were so many really nice free dances this year)
It took me so long to finally buy into the Moulin Rouge program for V/M but I eventually did. I love the music but I didn't like the end of it at first. Once they changed the end I was on board that it was the kind of program that would win over a crowd.
I loved P/C's moonlight sonata the most all season. It suits them really well.
I also loved H/D's FD a lot.
I also really end up being moved by B/S's fd. Yes it was overly dramatic but.. in the end they got me to buy what they were selling at the Olympics.
I loved K/R's Cherry Blossom themed dance, I liked the Polish teams quirky fd, the return of Je Suis Malade and G/F's FD to muse.
I liked whatever changes the shibs made to their fd. By the Olympics it was working better for me. If they come back I hope they retire the Coldplay though.
