Based on just the form of the device, the Gameboy Advance SP. I loved the way games played on that thing. Still do.
However, I'd say my favorite is the DS lite because it was the first system I really started to get into from a hardcore perspective. I was getting games all the time, and there were so many great games for it. Plus, it was backwards compatible with GBA games, so I had a lot of fun with that too.

Does PSP count? It's about as old as the original DS. I'd have to go with that. Looking back, I have no idea why I got my PSP so late in its life. Its power is amazing for its age compared to the DS. Trails in the Sky, ZHP, Patapon, Monster Hunter Freedom/Freedom Unite/3rd... so many amazing games, so many hours of productivity sucked away.
GBC. I loved that thing, even though the only games I liked for it that I had back then were SMB deluxe and the pokemon games. (I also had conker's pocket tales but I couldn't do much with it)

I wouldn't count it until it stops making Sony more money than the Vita. But if I did it would definitely be at the top of my list.
But yeah, Gameboy Advance. I still use that thing for all my non-PSP handheld needs.
Even though at the moment it seems that big is the new small when it comes to portable devices, I am of the opinion that the GameBoy Micro is the best handheld ever made. It's so small and neat and beautiful with a nice bright screen and obviously... it's ultra-portable! It's a shame it was so under-appreciated, but with the DS taking off around the same time of its release, I guess it was pretty unnecessary. Though whenever non/casual gamers see my Nintendo stuff, the GameBoy Micro inevitably gets a big reaction. Most people have never seen it before.
BTW do non-Nintendo handhelds count? I have a lot of retro handhelds that I have purchased with in the last few years, anyway here is my top 5 Retro handhelds.
1. Gameboy Color
2. Neo Geo Pocket Color
3. Gameboy Advance SP
4. Atari Lynx
5. Gameboy Micro
