I'm afraid I'm going to have to kill you now... you just named two of my favorite instruments. OK, slap bass isn't an instrument persay, but I'm a bassist, umkay? And I play acoustic guitar for fun. Slapping is one of my favorite things to do when I'm bored, or someone wants me to play something. Believe me, between slapping, popping, and hammer-ons, I can give you an awesome bass solo.
As for acoustic guitar, a well made guitar sounds beautiful. Electric can never replace that. Pure acoustic tone has it's place, as does pure electric, nice blues crunch, stack tone, and full-on metal distortion.
Right then... as for me, favorite instrument has to be guitar, which includes bass. So versatile, it's not even funny. Coming in at 2nd is a grand piano. I love the sound of well recorded (or live) piano with someone who knows what they're doing. So beautiful.
Least favorite has to be most brass and stringed instruments in the hands of people who suck. Actually, any instrument with people who suck. There's nothing so horrible as someone butchering a violin, or a trumpet. I agree with KR here, most all instruments can sound good if they have a decent player, and they can all sound awful if the person playing them sucks.
