That's quite an expansive question, it all depends on the style I'm in the mood for watching. From the UK, I'd have to say Soul is my favourite for straight bars and multi-syllabics. I'm not on Shotty/Lunar C's dick like most other UK battle rap fans, though I do rate them for their individual styles respectively.
From the U.S, I am a fan of NY rappers, Clips/Hoffa as, in my opinion, they are stylistically pleasing to watch/listen to (not to mention the amount of exposure they get from vlogs). I find Hitman Holla over-rated to shit. I got huge respect for Daylyt, although a lot of people hate on his 'antics,' I think it shows a creative flare and showmanship, which is what live entertainment needs to thrive in such a competitive environment, some people will watch a Daylyt battle just to "see what he's gonna do next."
Dirtbag Dan is another I just find hilarious no matter what he says, much like Carter Deems (going to assume he's American and not Canadian). Arsonal and Illmac, I quite like their word play, association schemes and crowd energy.
As for Canada, I have an affinity for Madchild, I think he's an amazing recording artist, solo and with BAXWAR/Swollen Members. He's not had many battles though (2 to date I believe) and I thought he was really under-received in his battle with Daylyt. Charron has a bit of a 'bullied-in-school' kinda vibe about him which makes every one of his battles come across as a karmic nerdrage performance.
Sorry to disappoint you, but I can't give a single answer as I don't actually have a favourite battle rapper. I tend to dislike rappers who only have the URL-style gun bars, without the iron-y (pun intended).

It's not a long post, just a few of my opinions. I'm quite vocal regarding what I like and dislike.
Even if it was a tangent of your original question, it's still an insight into my preference of battle rap, and this is my introduction thread after all, which is here for people to get to know me a little better. I feel my post reflected that.
Once again though, thanks for the reception and especially to [MENTION=17129]Exenexex[/MENTION] for the business.
