Favorite shark?

There was actually a report of a diver who was accidentally sucked into a whale sharks mouth only to be spit out immediately. They're basically the big babies of the sea.

I am fond of the nurse sharks I've seen when canoeing. I had a black tip circle me while fishing hip deep in the Ten Thousand Islands. That was a little more thrilling than I generally care for. But when I was a child, the hammerheads were the most awesome.

Bullsharks because they can go anywhere, freshwater or saltwater.

A friend used go out into the gulf of mexico in his Hobie (I thinks that's the name. Basically a kayak powered by bicycle like pedals and a propeller), until a shark bigger than his hobie boat swam past him. He was too chicken to go out in the craft again.

The two oddest sharks would be the Megamouth ( a plankton filter feeder not as big as the basking and whale sharks, but with an excessive big rubbery mouth, and the "cigar shark" aka "the cookie cutter shark". The cookie cutter shark is less than a meter long but instead of devouring game it simply takes a chunk out of you and runs away. Its bandsaw like teeth cut a nice plug of meat out of the hides of bigger fish, or human bodies, or of the plastic sonar domes on submarines. Their work looks as precise as that of a cookie cutter.
