My choice of guild generally depends on what kind of character I'm playing, though since I often play magic using characters in fantasy RPGs, I often join the Mages Guild or some other organization with a similar magic using theme (With my most recent Morrowind character, for example, I joined House Telvanni and not the Mages Guild.) As to which my favorite guild is, it will vary between games depending on each game's portrayal of each guild and will often be a question of which guild has the best quest, so I can't say which faction I'll favor in Skyrim, seeing as I don't know what sort of quests each one will have, or what kind of character I'll play, for that matter, even the faction list hasn't actually been confirmed.
In Oblivion, though, my favorite faction was probably the Dark Brotherhood, followed by the Mages Guild, because their quests seemed more interesting than the legal guilds and actually encouraged, if not required, you to use the skills they should favor, not like the Mages Guild. For Morrowind, it's harder to say because there's so many options to choose from, though I'm leaning towards one of the great houses, I'd say Telvanni, as they seem the more interesting as they're portrayed in Morrowind. As an organization of people, House Redoran seems more likable, but prior to the LGNPC mods, I feel that their quests really didn't do them justice.
