Title says it all. I'm currently looking at Island (236) from Shards of Alara, Island (337) from 9th Edition, and Island (237) from Theros, but I'm open to suggestions!
I would have a single version of each of your favorite islands, or just full art lands from Zendikar or Unhinged.

Collector # 237 islands from Zendikar. Its the cup island that Magicrafter linked and the best island imo.

I have all foil Mercadian Masques islands in my Merfolk deck. They've been my favorite for as long as I can remember.

Odyssey, Mirage, Invasion and Urza block have brilliant lands which work everywhere. Most old border islands look really pretty, so just go for them. There are no specific ones that stand out.

What I've done is used black sharpie to remove everything but the bottom text box. It looks neat. In fact, I've had a few people comment on it at FNM. I can take a scan of one if you wish.

What, just a giant black blob with nothing but the 
on it?

Yeah, it's an easy way to make them look identical -- and they actually look kindof mysterious.

Ok, this isn't a scan, but I used paint to make it. This is similar to what they look like (sorry for crappy editing, this isn't my PC -- I usually do my editing in GIMP with a graphics tablet xD):

Jeez, those are weird. That's when it comes to what's your favorite set symbol XD

The full art ones from Zendikar take my vote. Or some fancy un-set ones. Full art is love, full art is life.
