I simply cannot single out just one program being my best from entire quad or just one from particular discipline...So I listed all of those who reached me, got to me, impressed me by their structure/design, intricacy, complexity mixed with ease, musicality, connection skater made with it, expression, overall visual presented, combination of beauty and skill, originality, polish, effortlessness, commanding control, attack, attitude and so on. I just connect with various programs on different level of appreciation, especially depending how they are performed, treated by skaters, not even talking about execution/having clean performances to it.
Men:
Patrick's 'Blackbird' SP, Chopin FS, Journey FS
Denis Ten's 'Caruso' SP, 'Ambush' FS (from 2014/15 season)
Yuzuru's Chopin SP, Seimei FS, Hope and Legacy FS, 'Let's get crazy' SP (probably my favourite of them all, weird, I know)
Shoma's 'Legends' SP (LOVE that program!), Loco Tango FS, Winter SP
Adam's 'Birds' FS
Alexei Bychenko's 'Chambermaid Swing' SP
Deniss V. 2016/17 SP
Boyang's Spiderman SP and La Strada FS
Dmitri Aliev's Masquerade Waltz SP and 'To Build a home' FS
Jason Brown's Hamilton SP, Piano FS, Scent of love FS,
Joshua Farris' 'Give me Love' SP and 'Schindler's List' FS
Nathan Chen's 'Nemesis' SP
Alexander Johnson's 'In your eyes' FS
Nicolas Nadeau's Elvis FS and 'A wink and a smile' SP
Keegan Messing's 'Singing in the rain' SP and Chaplin medley FS
Elladj Balde's both this season's programs
Javier's Sinatra FS, Malaguena SP, Chaplin SP, Don Quixote FS.
From all of them, I probably have the strongest sentiment to Patrick's Chopin FS/Blackbird SP, Javier's Sinatra FS, Shoma's Loco Tango FS and Yuzuru's 'Let's go crazy' SP.

Satoko's every single program this quad, 'Firedance' SP, Miss Saigon FS, Sayuri SP, 'Planets' FS

Anna Pogo's 'Scent of a woman' Tango SP, Bolero SP (minus costume), last sesaon's FS
Elizaveta Tuktamisheva's Bolero SP, FS form 2014/15 season
Mao's 'Madame Butterfly' FS and 'Bei mir bist du shein' SP
Carolina's 'Ne me quitte pas' SP, Debussy FS and 'Clair de lune' EX, Vivaldi FS ('Nisi Dominus') from last season
Ashley's 'HHCC' SP, 'Moulin Rouge' FS, I'd also include 'La la land' FS even if she performed it only once
Karen's 'On Golden Pond' SP and Tango Jalousie FS
Kaori's Beethoven SP and Amelie FS
Elena's Latin SP
Giada Russo's Red Violin FS, Eyes wide shut SP
Summing it all up - I think that I often return to Anna P.'s programs I mentioned due to emotional package, rawness and sensuality, to Satoko's/Carolina's programs to feel once again mesmerized by complexity and sensibility of sole movement to the music, to Kaetlyn's/Gabrielle's/Wakaba's programs due to this sheer powerfulness, attack, confidence in character I sense watching them. And I regularly re-watch Mao's Boston 2016 Worlds 'Madame Butterfly' which was not perfectly executed, but for me it summed Mao's maturity, essence of her skating and relation to the music beyond perfectly, on more primal/deeper level of emotion for me.
