Anything from the era of the self-contained cartridge is fair game for me, but my favorites are revolvers. Modern double-actions or a nice SAA or clone doesn't matter to me, they're all great.

stuckinsocal mentioned some of mine.
The aperture sights of Enfield #4s, #5s and the Garand seem to give them quite an edge.
Older military rifles seem to have more character than ARs or civilian rifles, but a .22's economics can't be surpassed.

I own a shotgun and about 5 rifles but I love my handguns and love the xd and xd(m) line. But my favorites are my 1911's.
Rifles made prior to the end of the second world war, in particular straight pull rifles ( so yeah, Ross, Schmidt-Ruben and Steyr). My favorite rifles to shoot are the Ljungman and Hakim rifles ( neither of which fall into that category) , but if you've owned one you may understand why. In terms of what I look for , battered old straight pulls. I do love me the Ljungman action though Mmmmm...... DI tilting bolt.......

Revolvers, 1911's, Custom bench rest bolt guns, lever actions, and most things that go bang

Steel and wood is my genre. I have had many different polymer type firearms and ARs but most of those have been replaced with my old faithfuls: revolvers, shotguns and AKs though I do have a big soft spot for 1911s.

Depends what day you catch me. My thing last year was AR's. I have always liked the look of them, bought my first 2 and the love affair ensued.
Right now, if I could not care about cash (good luck with that), I would love to pick up one of the Kimber 1911s, I have always loved 1911's just have not managed to buy one yet.

Pretty much anything that goes "boom." I have a repro blunderbuss, a couple of repro sea service pistols, a replica Kentucky Rifle in flint and percussion, as well as a repro LaPage flintlock dueling pistol...I have SAA repros from Uberti, and lever action rifles as well as SxS hammered and non-hammered shotguns. Fast forward to my Glocks, Beretta, and 1911s, CA revolvers, Ruger Chargers, a couple of GSG fun guns, Winchester 1300, and my M1A...My next acquisition will probably be a Saiga 12 semi-auto.

Genre? Hunting.
While I own a semi-auto or two, most of my guns are hunting/field guns. So bolt-action rifles, pump shotguns, and revolvers dominate.

Reliable, accurate, robust and cheap. In that order probably.
I tend to own unissued or excellent condition Eastern Bloc firearms. I also like cheap firearms that work well like Hi-Point, Bryco/Jennings and Kel-Tec. Only the best reliable ones I keep otherwise I take them back to the shop that sold it to me and trade it for something better.

My Genre would have to be "collectable shooters."
If it is old, if it works, and if I like it, Its probably something I have or would like to have.95% of my guns are older than 1980. I enjoy shooting my classic Winchesters, as well as Milsurps and various older handguns.
No disrespect to the Glock & AR people, but I just prefer to own/shoot vintage firearms that tend to increase in value over time.

"Underdog" guns, particularly handguns. The ones everyone else likes to say there is no legitimate use for. Kel-Tec, Taurus, Bersa, Charter Arms, Phoenix, even Jennings and Hi-Point make the list. All but the Jennings, Phoenix, and Hi-Point (I do not yet own a HP) are among those I trust for defensive use. I'm also a sucker for the "lesser" calibers, too, such as the .380ACP.
