I'm with the folks who chose, "Out of Gas". Still can't get that lump out of my throat. But I don't get the, "Our Mrs. Reynolds" thing, that woman should have been drowned at birth.

Ok so Im very superficial, I love Trash, you get to see a different side of the captain (well almost all of him). But on the artful side id have to say Serenity

Ariel is my favorite. Jayne realizes his emotional attachement to the crew(at the end), simon scores brownie points with the crew, and River's story is more fleshed out. Oh yeah and the Blue hands men.

Like most people here, it's hard to nail down that one fave since they're all so good. But as far as episodes that stand out, for me it's always going to be "Our Mrs. Reynolds".
I hadn't even HEARD of Firefly until about a week before Serenity opened, and the Sci Fi channel was showing all of the Firefly episodes back to back one day. I don't have cable, and I was over at my parents' house for dinner, and my father had the TV on that channel while we were all in the kitchen. I payed the show no mind while I was eatting, but then after dinner we went back into the living room, and "Our Mrs. Reynolds" was just starting.
At first, I had this flippant attitude toward it, thinking something along the lines of: "Oh great...another space show that'll put me to sleep like so many others..." But I was full and in no hurry, so I sat back and started watching...
I WAS BLOWN AWAY!
The characters, the dialogue, the humor, the acting, the special effects, the settings, Inara...hellfire was I blown away! Sadly, I couldn't hang around and see the following episodes, but seeing that single one convinced me to go see Serenity that weekend.
Several viewings of Serenity, purchasing the Firefly box set, getting the novel, getting the visual companion, and owning both of the soundtracks on CD later...I'm still just as infatuated with all of this...and it's all, ultimately, thanks to the "Our Mrs. Reynolds" episode.
So if I have to pick just one, it'd be this episode. This episode hooked me, the movie reeled me in, and all the rest continued to run a stringer through my mouth. Please don't throw me back!

Out of Gas... without even thinking. always my favorite!
or even... can I say... Serenity! The BDM... It was like an elongated episode, with much more violence and better special effects... oh and we had to wait a lot longer then a week for this one.

I'll add another #1 vote for Out of Gas - the best television entertainment EVER made, imho. I've watched it probably a dozen times and still it holds me entranced each time. It looks beautiful, the lines are great, the music, the characters, the story, the lighting, the pace. It's just incredible.
After that, Serenity, OiS, Ariel, War Stories, and OMR.
I must admit I'm also rather fond of the Train Job. I love the bar fight and the banter between Zoe and Mal. (Can I have your share? No. If you die can I have your share? Yes.) The train/ship fx are great. Sure, some exposition, but I'll watch Train Job before HoG, Safe, or Shindig. Of course, I will watch those right after. 
Ask Dr. Science ... he knows more than you do.

Wow....tough one. I love Firefly so much that chosing a favorite is really hard. I think I can narrnow it down to two; Out of Gas for incredible drama, and Our Mrs. Reynolds for humor.
Out of Gas is one of the most moving stories I've ever seen; Nathan's acting was amazing, the music was beautiful, the editing was great, and most importantly the story had an incredible emotional impact. It makes me love that crew so very much, and Mal.....wow.
Our Mrs. Reynolds is just plain perfect Firefly with an extra-special dollop of hilarity thrown in:)
"Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you when she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home." .......We love you, captain
"Now, if I'm not back in an hour, I want you to take this ship, take off... and you come and you rescue me!"
"This is the captain. We may experience some slight turbulence and then.....explode"

Like everyone else I could say great things about every episode but I am gonna go with Objects in Space. The script in my subjective opinion is easily the best written of all of them and it made River my favorite character and I dont care what anyone says Jubal Early is hands down best guest character in the series. No one even comes close.
I will say that Out of Gas is a close second for me. Loved the flash backs and the look on Mal's face when he first sees Serenity is priceless.
