I enjoy high fantasy with a touch of post apocalyptic sci-fi. I ran a Palladium Fantasy RPG campaign set in post apocalypse Robotech. Basically it was my version of Rifts, which is another setting I greatly enjoy.
But in the end I think I will almost always find Star Wars to be my favorite. I have made my own systems that are outside the Empire/Republic, my own crime rings. I have exclusively played the WEG d6 version, but am going to give the EDGE system a try after my D&D campaign is done.
Putting aside game system and mechanics, I enjoy Traveller, Numenera, and Shadowrun, sure. But none of those can compete with Star Wars as a sci-fi setting.
Edit: Honorable mention to Star Trek.
I would love to play in a Star Trek game, but the majority of the shows only show Starfleet. I wish we saw more ST content of traders and every day folk like Booker. Anything not Starfleet at all.
I saw a Star Trek RPG sourcebook that focuses on a not Starfleet campaign. Hell if I can remember what it was called or who made it though.
