At the risk of adding spoilers:  The Queen Metroid and Phantoon were my favorites.  I believe there was at least one more that I liked, but I don't remember.  I found the Ridley fight to be uninteresting.  After so many excellent battles with him in the Prime trilogy, there wasn't much they could do to top them.  

That construction/heavy machine equipment battle was the worst one.  Ridiculous battle.  Big machine like a freakin loader dombined with a bulldozer, but it moved like lightning and could turn on a dime.  Fucking obnoxious battle sequence.  

But the Metroid fanboy in me was just giddy as hell when the Queen and Phantoon entered the fray.  I only wish the rest of the damn game lived up to the joy of those two battles.

I think the Phantoon battle was my favorite too.  Even if it was just 5 or 10 minutes of spamming the Sense Move and charged shots.

I'm guessing you didn't play hard mode, correct?

No, I shut it off, fuming with rage, and never played it again.  I almost didn't play it after finishing the main story.  But I forced myself to see if there was any redeeming value after the main part was finished.  

But then, I rarely play through a game more than once these days.  There's just so much to play and I want to experience as much of it as possible.  It's shameful how many games I haven't finished.  I only finished two recently--Steel Diver and Batman: Arkham Asylum.  

It has been a few days, so I don't really remember why I asked you that question.  I think it went back to what we were talking about with switching to first person mode.  On hard mode, it is impossible charge up a super missle in first person mode because you are stuck standing still for so long.  You have to charge up in third person mode, switch to first person mode, and then quickly release the super missile.  The game forces you to get good at facing the right way and then quickly locating your target.
