Stackcoin for sure. I still do enjoy reading that thread. :D

They had the option of creating some serious variety of algorithms,
but mostly wasted it by using 4 almost interchangeable Bitcoin-like hash functions,
plus the altcoin default, scrypt.

I look forward to more variety in the future, perhaps with some CPU-friendly choice as well...

Quite forgot to answer you  second question.
Why? I like the coins that are not so high, and getting sometimes (too) little publicity.  Help them by talking about them en buy some.
Sometimes it's just a feeling!

Protoshares(Bitshares-PTS), because it has a real company behind it with paid programers and what looks like a bright future for all of their up coming DACS.

I'm thinking that GPL coin is rather interesting even though I haven't been able to read up on it as much as I'd like.

Community Coin

-Well distributed
-Dev set very high bar to receive coins
-Strong community

I think it is more important to store value in the blockchain ledger perceived most legitimate by the cryptocurrency community, than to worry about "interesting features" [unless you are a dev pushing innovation forward].

It seems to me that a "coin" is actually two things: (1) a payment network, and (2) a shared ledger of stored value.  If the technology running Payment Network A is suddenly deemed "the best", then the community using Ledger B can just adopt a similar network without "panic trading" out of Ledger B.  

The devs are willing to change one of the algos with a cpu friendly algo,Even though you can use the groestl algo if you want to cpu mine.

For me:

Einsteinium / EMC2: Because I like to think about how fast it could advance human technological progress if it grows, especially if it somehow became larger than where BTC is now. (not saying that will happen, :P) Imagine a crypto-currency funding the tech to get us to Mars.

Bytecoin / BCN: Because it's such a ridiculous mystery. New protocol, anonymous, a whole blockchain running secretly on the deepweb for 2 years. What? If it's truly anonymous, IMO this coin would've been huge if anyone knew about it. Defines interesting.

Litecoin because i seen it listed as a donation address a year ago+ on the web site The Pirate Bay.
and since i noticed it's always the number 2 coin on various exchanges etc.

imitation is the blah blah blah flattery blah blah lol

if LTC is not a good answer then..
Gridcoin maybe because i like the idea of using it to find little Green Men on Mars :)

EdgeCoin (http://edgecoin.info) is the only one with a decentralized p2p marketplace.

Not to mention a huge and growing announcement thread, even complete with drama.

EDIT: a lot of drama.

Donutcoin, by far.

You should check out SourceCoin, it takes value from the biggest foundation backing that any crypto has, and thats information.

CounterParty

It's like Bitcoin in late 2010 to 2011- only a small few understand the potential at this stage; but the possibilities are enormous .

I don't often buy alt coins, but when I do...  :D

BTL (aka BitLeu)

Why ? Look here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=510353.msg6199965#msg6199965

Ok you guys be quiet i am the smart one here..

i already gave you people the answer so why are you all still talking ?

Gaycoin

Because we can buy vaseline with after a panic dump sell

Mintcoin

Only had 27% generated through POW. Now it's pure POS and the remaining 73% will be generated through energy efficient, environment friendly POS minting. The future of cryptos!

Very young yet very stable in price.
Allready have 45 merchants
Soon have the first POS android wallet

i don't know... :'(

Mintcoin is interesting, thanks for the reminder.
You currently have "---I PREFER GOLDCOIN ----" in your sig.   ;)

Gridcoin - The fact that the mining process benefits science is truly a great advantage. IMHO, Boinc (what is benefited by gridcoin) is more important than Primecoin's chain of prime numbers.

At the moment there is just one really notable altcoin: NXT

SolidCoin 2.0

It would be nice if arguments were used :)

Huntercoin, Gridcoin, Datacoin. Because of the unique features.

this!
