Well - my favorites are and will be Torvill & Dean - what you could see by my gushing thread. But I could add in dance Winkler & Lohse, Duchesnays (though I must admit mostly for the Dean-choreography ), Wilson & McCall and Roca & Sur.
Pairs - Gordeeva & Grinkov.
Women: Katarina Witt (eligible career mostly), Kristi Yamaguchi, Yuka Sato - ordered by date.
Men: Kurt Browning, Alexei Yagudin.
But this is really the favorite list concerning "whole" skaters. There are a lot of special routines I love by other skaters, too.....
