I think Dalinar is my favourite. Kaladin, Adolin and Shallan are more typical fantasy heroes, I think: the loveable underdog who came from nothing, the noble knight in shining (shard) armour, the fiercely bright and independent young woman. There's nothing wrong with that, of course, and they're all brilliant characters.

But Dalinar just feels more unique: a reformed drunkard, used to living in his brother's shadow, and suddenly the most powerful man in an entire kingdom. He's no longer a brilliant and energetic warrior, so he has to use his mind to solve problems. Plus, he's the one who gets to hear Tanavast, and he bonded the Stormfather.
