I'll be curious to see how this one comes out. I can't imagine there would be any one solid winner, with all the choices.
My personal favorite is probably the Nibenay Valley-- particularly the parts due north of Bravil and along and above the lesser rivers east of Bravil-- nice, rugged, green, heavily forested country. But my characters tend to have their own favorites, and range across the map. Bogmok doesn't like much of anything, but he finds Blackwood to be most in keeping with his own moods. Kyla loves Bruma and the Jeralls, and actually gave up her life in the IC just to move there (after giving up her life in Cheydinhal to move to the IC). Hale has a native fondness for the Jeralls, but surprised me with a preference for the Gold Coast. Claudia and Vorlin both love the Great Forest, but Claudia just passes through while Vorlin lives there. MIndi doesn't have much of a preference-- she's a city girl. Though she does like Blackwood the least, just because it's dreary and rainy and it messes up her hair.
And so on.....
