Alpine/Nubian crosses are my favorite. 
I'm sure it's largely sentimental because my first packgoat was Alpine/Nubian, but so far I'm liking all the crosses we've produced in the last few years. They have nice personalities, seem to be hard workers, and they come in a wonderful variety of flashy colors! I also adore the airplane ears and I think they tend to have nice conformation. I love the long legs and nice feet from the Nubian side, and I love the hard-working attitudes and nice, level backs with good withers from the Alpine side. I also love the shape of their heads. Of course, any time you cross two breeds you're sometimes bound to end up with the "worst of both worlds" instead of the best. But for the most part I've liked what we've produced here. Sputnik was my "dud" that I was embarrassed to sell because of his poor conformation and weird personality, but he seems to be working out well in spite of himself.
