1. Ultrasone HFI-580
2. Grado SR-80
3. Audio-Technica ATH-M50
 
Those are the three I use most.  It's tough to pick between the Grado and the Ultrasone, but I probably give the Ultrasone the nod largely because I wear them more.  It's not quiet enough for me to wear the Grados too often.  I use the ATH-M50s quite a bit as well, for some music I like them better but overall I prefer the sound of the Ultrasones.  The M50 wins for comfort though, I find it more comfortable than any others I've worn.
 
I also own the Sennhesier HD-280, but I never use them so I didn't bother to rank them.  Not enough bass for me.

Updated:

Full-Size
1. Sennheiser HD650
2. Sony MDR-7506
3. Grado SR80i

IEMs
4. Klipsch x10i
5. Ultimate Ears UE600vi
6. Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 3

4 and 5 are almost a tie because their sound signatures differ quite a bit and therefore I like them for different reasons.

Updated list (now using e17/e9 in place of e7/e9 for DAC/amp):
Ultrasone Pro 2900 (Had these around a month now, I don't regret a single cent spent on them, still deliver eargasms on a regular basis)
Ultrasone HFI 2400
V-MODA M80 (no longer have, returned for comfort issues but I loved the sound)
Ultrasone DJ1
Sennheiser HD-555 (arguably better than the DJ1 but they just don't have enough bass for my preferences where the DJ1's do)
 
 
Hoping to get the V-MODA M100's when they come out, provided I can set enough aside.  (Would love to get the Ultrasone Pro 900 and Beyerdynamic DT770 PRO 80ohm too but unless I get a raise that won't be anytime soon)
