Gosh!
I'd have to say hands down when the prox alarm goes of when they're playing space basketball! I LOVE IT!
Oh wait what about when River gets out of the box! The way Mal jumps back so camply makes me giggle everytime!
Mine is an EVIL laugh!

I had the good fortune of meeting Jewel a few weeks ago in Orlando. I chose one of her pictures, the one you describe above, with the parasol and her hair up. She wrote " Ever sail in a Firefly before?" She must write that a lot, but I don't even remember what I said to her, I was so damn nervous with her and Morena. They were also part of a Whedon Women panel which was great.

I would say my favorite scene is in "War Stories," when Zoë and Wash are on the shuttle after her rescuing him from the Skyplex. Zoë explains to Wash that Niska would like to keep Mal alive for a couple days minimum before killing him, and Wash's response is something to the affect, "The Bastard won't get days." That is a very ambiguous statement and when I first heard I was wondering if he meant Niska for torturing him, or Mal for saying those things about his wife.

MAL
(startled)
Hey!
Camera pans left to reveal an obviously naked Saffron in Mal's bed, covered only by a sheet.
MAL
You're, uh... uh... well, there you are.
SAFFRON
I've made the bed warm for you.
MAL
It looks, uh, warm.
SAFFRON
And I've made myself ready for you.
MAL
Let's ride right past the part where you explain
exactly what that means. Didn't you see you
got a room of your own?
SAFFRON
And I'm to sleep there?
MAL
That's the notion. Assuming you're... yeah.
Sleepy.
SAFFRON
But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh?
MAL
Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I
think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.
SAFFRON
I'm sorry. When we talked I'd hoped, but I don't --
(moves to stand)
MAL
Whoa, hey! Flesh...
(beat)

Of course I cannot forget the scene in "Out of Gas," where Mal is laying on the ground of the Cargo Bay, and and earlier version of Mal and Zoe enter the Bay to discuss Mal's plans for a brighter future. I especially loved the part where the two of them walked around the spot where Mal's body will be laying in the future because something made a nest there. When I saw that for the first time chills went up and down my spine.

For me, there's lots and lots of very close seconds. Most of them listed above. :)
But the number one scene for me, in Out of Gas, is the flashback to Jayne's joining the crew when he shoots Marco in the leg WITHOUT looking at him, and says "Shaddup..." followed by "How big a room?" to Mal.
It just amuses me greatly, and wraps up Jayne's personality up in a nice neat package.
Again, the rest of Firefly all falls into the "close seconds" category, and arguably could all be the #1 scene.
BWAH!

Another one I thought of just now, and it may have been mentioned but I'm too lazy to read everything...is in OiS, when River has that sweet conversation with Mal outside the ship. She's completely alright for a moment,and you see the real River: bright, funny, kind. She jokes about Simon needing "so much looking after," laughs at herself with "that's the popular theory," and Mal is so protective and kind. Just a good little slice of life.

It's not my "favorite," couldn't pick a single fave anyway, but a scene that always stands out to me is the exchange between Inara and Saffron in Our Mrs. Reynolds up in the scaffolding.
Saffron: Oh you're good.
Inara: You're amazing, who are you?
There's just such a reality to the way they play this, the two super-savvy women who are used to playing each other letting their guards down and almost showing a "professional" respect for each others' skill in the con game. You just don't see moments of multilayering of characters much, especially written for strong female roles.
