Best written or personal favorite? There are many I've never played, so the list of choices for me is very limited.
My personal top 5: 1. Liara 2. Kaidan (would have been first place if ME3 didn't kind of ruin things) 3. Alistair 4. Garrus 5. Morrigan (I actually like her baby being Alistair's best though because I ship those two)
For reference, romances I've played and not enjoyed: 1. Jacob 2. Fenris 3. Solas (except for the last main game scene) 4. Thane 5. Ashley 6. Tali
OK romances: Jack and Miranda. And Vetra.

I voted Morrigan, Solas and Kaidan.
With Kaidan I like the romance a lot for female Shepard, they go well together, but I also like his friendship path with male Shepard so much. I romanced him with m!Shep once and that felt somehow super awkward. Don't know why. Maybe because it was so sudden after years of platonic friendship. But I wanted to romance Kaidan with m!Shep from the very first playthrough and was very disappointed when you couldn't.
Merrill's romance is very sweet... and tragic at the same time because of her obsession with the mirror and the fact that my Merrill romancing Hawke was left behind in the Fade.
Blackwall's romance is very cool. I always leave him in the jail cell though.
Reyes was my favorite character from MEA and I enjoyed the romance but it was very, very short.
I also kind of like Jacob's romance and how it ends. It's funny and realistic, but also annoying. I wish they'd done that with Miranda and kept her loyal to Cerberus. She should have had Kai Leng's role in ME3.
Also, no mention of SWTOR's romances? It has some of my personal favorites: Lana Beniko, Kira Carsen, Theron Shan, Hunter, Darmas Pollaran, etc.
So my Top 5 looks like:
1. Solas 2. Morrigan 3. Kaidan 4. Lana Beniko 5. Theron Shan
Someone mentioned romances they didn't enjoy. I think for me that would be Sebastian because there's so little content and the rival version of the romance doesn't import properly to DAI. Other one would be Iron Bull: I like how unconventional the romance is and how it can end in betrayal. Really enjoyed that aspect of it. However, flirting with Iron Bull to try to initiate the romance feels often like the Inquisitor says something awkward and IB doesn't show any interest in response. This goes on forever until he suddenly shows up in the Inky's bedroom. The romance scenes were very not passionate even though I think they were supposed to be or at least should've been and I think the writing just overall was very awkward.
I like Leliana as a character (especially in DAI) but the romance itself was kind of creepy imo. She's basically pretending to be someone she's not through the entirety of DAO, just like Marjolaine said. Some of the romance dialogue for both Warden and Leliana is sooo awkward (forbidden fruit, fluttering eyelashes in a jar, etc...)
I also romanced Ashley once. It was the only time I saved her instead of Kaidan at Virmire and it was so not worth the trouble. She was so cool in ME1 but I can't stand her in ME3. Another ME romance I didn't enjoy was Miranda. I love her as a character and but she and my Shepard had no chemistry. Then she ends up dead in ME3 because he dumps her. That was genuinely heartbreaking.

Well Miranda being in the role of Kai Leng would be interesting but if you want true salty rivers from fans, having an Indoctrinated Liara feeding Shepard and others Misinformation T'soni doesn't need to be indoctrinated. Just look at what the asari did/did not do. Failed to inform anyone that Shepard's corpse is in the hands of Cerberus. Stealing armor from a dead body to put on display like it's a trophy. Placing Shepard's dna in different parts of her apartment. Failing to send a copy of the device blueprints to Hackett when she first realized it could wipeout the reapers. Hold up. She never found the plans. Turning into a wimp on Thessia. Remember she can't be that callous. She was lucky Leng only sent her flying on Kai Leng Airlines instead of stabbing her. Hmmm. Maybe Leng didn't stab her because she works with Cerberus as an undercover operative to keep tabs on Shepard?

Well it would be interesting if there was an actual malware in her computer while she is on the Normandy placed by Cerberus.

Well Miranda being in the role of Kai Leng would be interesting but if you want true salty rivers from fans, having an Indoctrinated Liara feeding Shepard and others Misinformation I'll raise you one more: Imagine if they had made it so that Shepard him/herself might be indoctrinated and then gets put in a scenario where the audience thinks they have a choice but really maybe it's just the reapers messing with them. The fans would completely loose their shit!
... oh wait.

1) Kaidan Alenko, he may even best romance in of all time for gay male like me. 2) Sky, he is my first love in game. too bad he's not on the list. 3) Steve Cortez, his storyline is not much but I like the way he talk to Shepard.
Special mention Reyes Vidal
Character who I want to romance : Alistair & Liam
Ander, Ironbull, Dorian, Zevran, I romance all of them but not much impression.
Never romance : Gil & Jaal

As Shepard walks around the ship before heading to Earth, he/she sees t'soni and Taylor having a moment with each other.
If my Shepard were indoctrinated, I would hope the Phantom would kill him/her.

The fact that Viconia is not on this list already makes it invalid.
Out of all the relationship options in Baldur's Gate 2, hers is the only one I argue that still holds up.
Of the choices, Vetra is the most realistic romance, so I am picking her. Liara is a close second though IMO.

For me, I always found it kind of...inappropriate to romance Jaheira because she literally just lost her husband to a madman. It felt like it was rushed and out of extreme circumstances, I.E, traumatized and taking advantage of trauma in a vulnerable situation, than a real romance to me. I had this same problem with Jack too. Viconia was a romance that actually had work and belivability to it. Though given the other choices...yeah...
