Mine is Buckminster Fuller's dymaxion map: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dymaxion_map
Great for showing the relative sizes of continents (and also visualizing how all the continents are nearly one contiguous landmass), at the cost of chopping up the oceans.
Second favorite is the Peirce quincuncial map: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peirce_quincuncial_projection , which tiles the plane.

The Dymaxion map is very interesting, I was a bit surprised just how connected the continents actually are.
