What are your favorite Wonders?

theory of evolution is my favourite. it gives me a headstart on the Hoover dam.
 
On Archipelago, nothing beats Great Lighthouse!

Otherwise, I tend to avoid the Pyramids, since a bit of file corruption, caused by my sister's repeated visitation of Harry Potter fansites which include a myriad of movies, which contain viruses, which--well, you get the picture, I avoid the Pyramids because I play Random civs, and it always (well, almost always) picks the Egyptians, and I've gotten so used to them that I now play them regularly, and the Pyramids give me a way-too-early GA.

Otherwise, I go for either the Sistine Chapel (I build Cathedrals everywhere, to the point where the maintanance puts a significant dent in the national income) or JS Bach's Cathedral (those two happy faces are great, and do not have an expiration date). Hoover Dam gives me guilt-free production and a Golden Age coupled with either the Sistine Chapel or JS Bach's Cathedral when I play as the Egyptians (about half the time, other than Conquests)--can't argue with that! And Smith's Trading Company...I mean, it's free money! It makes building Marketplaces, Banks, and Stock Exchanges worthwile in every city.

I always go for Theory of Evolution, to the point where I never trade Scientific Method until I am certain that I will get Theory of Evolution, and the Internet is great: speeds my research, and I get to deprive some puny, poor nation of their last shot at a Golden Age :evil: :evil: :evil: (barring their going to war with their UU, of course).
 
Smith's Trading Co. solves all my problems. The problem it comes quite late in the game, but somehow right in the nick of time when I some more money to improve my units.
 
Gosh i love smiths trading co. it gives me soooo much more money ex. if im makin 5 gpt then i might be making 20 after i build it. i also like leonardos workshop it makes upgrading units so much easier and cheaper.

I also see alot of people saying how much they like sun tzu's but i dont see it being very important. by the time i build it i usually have barracks in all my cities already.
