I really enjoyed Eccleston as The Doctor, and Tennant Is a very close second. I just don't see Matt Smith as The Doctor. He just doesn't seem to fit, really.
Poll: Smith or Tennant? (Or Eccleston)

I think both Tennant and Smith bring their own unique charm to the role. I can't speak much for Eccelston as I only saw maybe 2 or 3 episodes that featured him as the Doctor.
Eccleston all the way. Tennant was great as a character, but he was too foolproof. It got boring eventually, with his popularity I knew he wasn't regenerating anytime soon. He had some good episodes and the whole debacle with the good old Master was Fantastic (with a capital 'f'!). I've yet to see anything of Smith.
Eccleston however was brilliant. It was interesting to see the Doctor in that state; raw from the perils of war with his heart on his sleeve. That and the almost schizophrenic nature of him kept me intrigued.

Smith is probably my favorite, but Eccleston holds a pretty high place in my esteem.
Matt Smith just FEELS like the Doctor. He's my first, so that might have a bit to do with it, but I honestly think he's got a really great handle on what it means to be the Doctor. It's a little bit of Tennant's zaniness crossed with a dash of Eccleston's calm control.

Huh, I think I'd go for the only poll option you didn't include - I prefer David Tennant, and quite liked Chistopher Eccleston. I don't like Matt Smith at all.
Of course, nobody can do the Doctor better than Tom Baker. He's the definitive Doctor.

Tennant was easily the best actor, with Eccleston in a close second, but I prefer Matt Smith's doctor to David Tennant's doctor. I love the way Matt Smith's doctor is so easily pleased by simple things, and comes across as a bit more eccentric.
I am a Matt Smith fan.
Though it was weird seeing the change from David to Matt, because it was new. I personally felt the same way about the change from Chris to David also, which was a much bigger step than David to Matt I think.
I do like the more "air head" doctor that Matt plays, he feels a lot more random.

Look into the light please.
Tennant for me. Eccleston was a good first doctor (for the reboot). Eccleston got me interested, but Tennant got me hooked. Tennant's Doctor just made me have no idea what he was going to do next like pulling out 3D glasses. Granted that is mostly the writing, but Tennant pulled it off like it was something he did every day. Smith is a close second though.
I look at each of the doctors are fundamentally different entities- like going into a movie adaptation of a book. If you're going to enjoy the show in the long haul, you need to accept each one on its own terms.
I got hooked on the show via Eccelston, and Tennant was spectacular, and I 'love' me some Smith. If I had to pick a favorite, I'd say Smith, but that may just be because he's the one driving the TARDIS at the moment (or being driven by... Sexy). He has that really infectious charm and a quasi-autistic professor getup that I find incredibly amusing.

Tom Baker you heathen! But if I were to pick a new doctor it would diffidently be David Tennant.
I think that James McAvoy would make a pretty good doctor...
While we're at it, Kevin Bacon as "The Master"

I loved Ecceleston and i wished he didn't leave so soon, BUT who doesn't love David Tennant as the doctor his personality is so likable and the episodes he starred in were very creative.
