I must say either Stonewall Jackson or Nathan Bedford Forrest (purely for his skills as a tactician).

I would have to say my favorite generals (cause I can't pick just one of course) would have to be Robert E. Lee, Thomas J. Jackson, Stand Watie, Jerome B. Robertson, and John Buford.
My least favorites would be Felix H. Robertson (for certain controversial actions, otherwise he was a fairly good general), William T. Sherman, and Philip Sheridan (he's responsible for getting one of my ancestors captured, so I'm allowed to dislike him!!).
USA Brigadier General
Favorites: Thomas Jackson, William Sherman (sorry), John F. Reynolds, J.E.B. Stuarts, and Lee
Least: McClellan
First Sergeant Joseph P. Brevett of Company B, 2nd Maryland Infantry
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;- William Shakespeare, Henry V
