My personal favorite is North Karana. I love the Karanas because I love the mortal aspect of EQ, when bears and dogs are the biggest threat. North Karana is chock full of named creatures to hunt that drop rare and cool loot for early EQ too, it's got cool bridges, two of em! Druid circles, gypsies camps, wizard spires and crazy gnome quests. It's just an all around fun zone that is rarely part of the main path.
Im curious and this pandemic got me wanting social interactions with groups of people so can we please discuss this useless topic?

I think I can probably put a top 3 or 5 but not just one.
Favorite City: Neriak - Definitely one of my favorite all-time zones. My first character was a Dark Elf. The multiple zones, the R.A. Salvatore/Forgotten Realms vibes to the layout of the underground caverns with neon lighting"faerie fire". The secret hallways and doors and tunnels.... The hierarchy with the trolls ogres humans and even halflings in the foreign quarter. Let's not forget the music.
Kelethin a close runner-up. I've made many wood elves and the music and atmosphere really hit the spot.
Favorite Dungeon: Across my collective experiences it has to be Guk as a whole when factoring in hiding places, the dual live-side/deadside faction, exciting loot, and just overall number of camps and parts of the zone to learn. From a PVP past, this zone was heaven for my monk or rogue to roam through.
I'd put Sebilis at number 2 for similar reasons as above, but a lot less "freedom" to roam as getting tagged by a few mobs is game over whereas you could pretty freely invis/ivu through Lguk without too much hassle. Not to say there wasnt opportunity to wipeout groups at zone-in with Inner Flame/Duelist....
Favorite Outdoor Zone: Really tough choice so I'll let nostalgia take the wheel - Eruds Crossing. I like this zone because it was the first time I tried to really make some plat/grind some xp past the teens on my warrior on live back in 2000. I was a level 13 wood elf warrior, and traveled across the world without a teleport and was bound in qeynos after multiple CR's across the karanas/high pass. Once I arrived the journey was all worth it, your on this tropical island with music I've never heard of before, killing glowing wisps knowing id get even more XP and plat turning in the GLS's to gypsies in NK. Felt like I had found a little known treasure island, and I loved that zone. I don't go back there often strangely enough, it's quite niche and out of the way.
Runner-Up: East Commonlands, I just spent so much damn time here on live leveling toons. If I made an alt, I was usually figuring out a way to get them bound in freeport to get into orc camp 1 on live. The tunnel activity, buff begging, tunnel ratting, twink leveling, EC was the lifeblood of my live experience.
Second Runner Up: Crystal Caverns. Music in here, and the dwarf town with the crazy reggae beats, and the exp modifier, fkin loved this zone. Soloed on my dark elf shadowknight many a day.
