Ranking Favorite Style and Fly for Trout

1. Dry fly- elk hair caddis
2. Nymph- bh hares ear
3. Swing- blue dun
4. Streamer- black wooly bugger
For order of fishing preference I think I would still stick with this order. But I sure do fish a black bugger a lot. And I don’t swing flies much but it sure is fun.
 
1. Dry fly - Big Hoppers
2. Streamer - Dungeon or Peanut Envy
3. Nymph - Walt’s Worm or bead head Pats Rubberlegs
4. Mousing - Cheech’s Mouse
 
Maybe I’m dense - but I assumed the OP meant to rank your styles by preference and then give a favorite fly. Can’t imagine everyone here has the same exact preference of style order?
Ah ha!
I missed that aspect.

My favorite way to fish is wet fly fishing. It is the highest quality fishing there is.
There is a lot more to fishing wets than swinging them , but, swinging them sure is fun.
Next I like streamer fishing, usually when the water is too fast for much else.
I only dry fly fish when I have to , but sometimes it is the only way to catch trout. I see why dry fly fishing is so great for beginners. You can see the take and it’s a two dimensional game.
I do enjoy dry and dropper fishing for WW fish, but do it less for trout
