My favourite analog poly has digitial oscillators: PPG Wave 2.3. Nothing compares to this one, not even the uWave or uWaveII/XT. But when you ask me about the most favourite analog poly, it would be the M12. Not that it is perfect (slower EGs, slower LFOs, curtis components), but it gives you so much control over the sound, it is just sickening. It also sounds pretty nice even the guts are made by Curtis. With a little work it can sound like the older OB series, just creamy.
I wanted a P5 badly but when I had one I could care less. The curtis components have a tendency to sound blahh. I personally prefer the JP6 over the P5 because of the xmod/sync setup (osc1 modulates osc2 for both) and the nice sounding multimode filter. Also, you can split and put the JP6 into different modes, what makes it more versatile. BTW, I also had the P5 Rev2 (SSM version) but that was a nightmare in itself and I ended up selling it broken to a guy in the netherlands.
But everybody finds something particular about their favourite synth. Maybe it is the first one you bought, maybe it is the one you could not afford (like me) or it is the one that sounds sweet or cut the mix. You can make music with almost every synth, but it helps to get aligned with your instrument when you really like it.
