DC-10: The best FBW (allthough called Control Wheel Steering)
MD11 : The best cockpit (man/machine interface)
A330 : The best glider (tricky sometimes....) and very economical
A343 : The worst climber but nice and stable
A345 : The biggest fuel guzzler but nice and stable aswell

(from collegues):
B777 : The easiest bird, 773 the best wing

My pick:
Still the MD11. It's due to the interface i worked with and trusted most.
In over 10 years i never had that "... what is it doing ..." feeling.
Tricky to land, high approach speeds, something for men .....
