Depends on what you mean by favorite. For comfortable shooting the Model 21, but for SD/CC I own a Model 30S (my only plastic-fantastic to date). It's tough to beat a concealable .45ACP with 10+1 capacity.
What is your favorite model of glock

41. I own no glocks and probably never will, unless it's a 41 or they come up with an even bigger glock in .45.
I have come to the sad conclusion that Glocks just aren't for me. I've had three of them. They have all been flawless, but I have never made friends with the safe-action only safety system nor the grip angle. On top of that, once I discovered my preference for a Browningesque grip, I haven't been able to find a comfortable way to shoot the Glock.
I have no qualms about suggesting a Glock. No sour taste. I won't ever bash someone for enjoying them, but I simply require a different gun for my shooting enjoyment.
Of the ones I've owned, the 21 was probably my most favorite. It was an utterly reliable piece of hardware that inspired a lot of warm and fuzzy feelings packing around 13+1 .45apc. I simply shoot a 1911 better and my finances demand that I can't keep surplus firearms.

Between the 26 and 29. The 29 is a great woods gun and quite an easy carry. But I'd have to give the edge to the 26, as it's not only a great carry, it's lots of fun at the range.

Third generation 9mm Glocks are the ones I favor.
G34, G19, G26.
G34, G19, G26.
I absolutely love the G20/21 SF frame.
The wide grip really helps to distribute recoil. The slide lock lever is completely out of the way, and it even sticks out less than on the other frames. The slide is perfectly flush with the frame. (On the 9mm/40SW frames, the edge of the frame sticks out past the slide on the sides, and this is annoying due to my shooting grip). The G20/21 SF frame is just flat and smooth in all the right places. And the top of the slide looks like an aircraft carrier, guiding the way during fast shooting. This frame also has the least grip angle of any of the Glock frames.
And most importantly, it must fit me pretty well. I never pull a shot with this gun, doesn't matter how long it's been. Shotgun hulls at 50 feet? It's on. Beer bottles at 75 yards? Bring it. I am confident on shots I wouldn't even try with my Glock 19. I am more "money" with this gun than a 686 with a 2 lb trigger or a Colt Gold Cup. About the only thing I have shot that has ever compared, in my hands, is the German Sig P220 in single action. (P226/8 is oddly inaccurate for me).
It also doesn't hurt that it's one of two guns that I own that has never, ever had a malfunction. My FNX is still in the running, but it has only seen 1/10th the number of rounds. I might add that I've never had a user-induced malfunction or a neglected maintenance malfunction with it, either, knock on wood.

Glock 17. I tend to favor 9mm over everything else and since I have far more range guns than carry guns I tend to like the duty sized frame for extra capacity and gripping surface.

Glock 30
I bought my g30 in 97-98 and never looked back. It has been the only pistol I've owned and my EDC. I must preface this with the statement I fired every .45 I could get my hands on before I bought this. When I rented one and shot all 10 rounds in the center of the target , I knew it was for me. I use the same pistol for competition. After all these years no problems. Bottom line , shoot it before you buy it. But the G30 gets my vote.

The New Glock 41 Gen4. The only Glock I own, or really ever wanted to own. It really is a Gem!
Best to all!

I'm going to go with the 20 or 20SF because it's the only way to have that much kinetic energy in an auto that isn't some sort of gas operated monstrosity. Second is the generation 2 model 19 because I hate the finger groves on the gen 3 models.
