From the point of view of looks and personality I'd go for one of the early/mid war stuff which generally has a more quirky feel than the later "uber" machines.

A9 Cuiser
Matilda
Panzer II and III
M3 Lee

Late war probably the Churchill Croc

I like my tanks like a footballer likes his cars/wags, fast, good looking and topless! So its gotta be an M18 Hellcat!

Jagdpanther if you call it a tank :)
German would be a MkIII
British Cromwelll
American/British Lee/Grant
Russian KV1

thats about my list really

KV-1 sounds pretty good, but it's slow as h***.  :(
Jagdpanther - tank destroyer?
I will stand, or I will fall. But I will not sit.

For me, it would have to be Panzer IV Ausf. G  Sd.Kfz. 161/1 workhorse of the Wehrmacht

I picked Sherman because, quite frankly, it's a pain trying to get parts for foreign vehicles.

But the Sherman is a FOREIGN Vehicle - from Detriot.

But the nearly identical grizzly was made at the Montreal Locomotive Works. 

And there is an M4 parked outside the local armory.  If they find it up on blocks one morning you'll know what happened.

I'm on about Lentulus' location, he's in Canada, so the Sherman isn't foreign...
