Algae. 
Most primitive and most successfull.
I never have problems in growing this. have tried nearly all types with great success.
When ever I tried to take it out, I killed successfully everything in the tank except algae.
I am able to grow them even in my non planted tanks, keeps my plecos and other algae eating fish busy.
Nothing beats algae. |

On a more serious note it would be very hard to idenitfy one favourite plant.
In case of planted tank, it is the whole look of planted tank which appeals to the eye. it would be very hard to idenity a single plant.
I have seen a stunning guppy tank with just one type of plant , cabomba |
