You really can't go wrong with good ol' Rocket-Launcher-On-Goat-Legs.

For custom, Baphomet (no, not the Icon of Sin) from Zen Dynamics. Very challenging.

From the original series...what DuckReconMajor said.

I have to say, though, that that Gatewatcher from Plutonia 2 was pretty fucking awesome. And scary-looking, actually. Definitely a major improvement over the battle tactics for the old Icon of Sin, which was basically stupid elevator games with monsters behind you.

The spider mastermind needs some love.

Not that I'm going to give it.

Anything that's not a joke sprite hidden in a cranny behind a midtexture.

Yeah, what the fuck, it's not like I'm going to step on a bandwagon praising an overused enemy.

Go Spiderdemon. More challenging to place on maps than Cyberdemons.

Otherwise, I really like the Overlord (as well as SergeantVeteran's Cacolord which is mostly based on that -- WARNING: not much quality into it and not (yet) looking like that screen). The overlord's mouth is scary just to look at it on a static screenshot. I think its attacks are OP, though. A monster that size shouldn't be able to kill three cyberdemons with ease, but it is...

I would have chosen the Cyberdemon in the past, but my favorite now is the Spider Mastermind simply because it is an underused boss with potential. I decided to make good use of it in my cc4 map :P. My least favorite would probably be the icon of sin (used as a wall), because it is the usual stock way a megawad is ended. Rarely do I see it used creatively, such as in Plutonia 2 or *cough* Kama Sutra.

Cyberdemon.
And as for a custom boss... The 4 Cybruisers which were first introduced in Demon Eclipse Map03. An unforgettable encounter, indeed.

The Hell's Battery. (Dont'remember who made it. It can be found in bosses.wad)

A very intressing boss. Full of different attacks, and nice sprites.

@Sarge: I've never seen that guy before - he looks pretty mean!

As for my personal favourites:

Stock: The Cyberdemon and the Motherdemon.
Custom: The Moloch, Thamuz, the Source from UTnT and zap610 from CIF3.

Stock : The Cyberdemon.
Spider Mastermind would have been a lot better with more health and a lesser pain chance value. Barons of Hell are great, their appearence was scary back in time.

Custom : So far, Eriance's Overlord.

I like the Cyberdemon because it actually puts up a fight against the marine with 4000 HP and a rocket launcher.

The Doom Wiki said it was originally the Harbinger of Doom before BJ Blazkowicz (whatever he's called) cut off his arm and leg or something.

Stock:
Before Doom 2 and only with shareware- Baron
After- Mother Demon from Doom 64 (It's stock, don't argue)

Custom:
For the lulz: Gangsta Grosse.
For real: Thamuz , the first Archon of Hell before major updates (I got it before it was updated.), and also the Dual-Rocket Launcher Cyb.
