I don't know if "most prestigious" and "favorite" are equivalent for me. I like the nearby (US Midwest or at least close to the US Midwest) tournaments in general so my favorites are probably Michigan, Pittsburgh, and the Midwest Championships.

As far as "most prestigious": Michigan, LV Fall, LV Spring (not sure of the order). Michigan consistently gets >80 in the Open. LV used to beat Michigan in attendance (I think -- not sure) but hasn't done so for a while.

I believe the LV ty's get the most international participation which is a good thing, IMO. If either NY (in January) or Chiva's US Open takes off I can imagine those getting some serious European presence, given the shorter flight times (including non-stop flights) to US East coast.
