You can become a great fighter without ever becoming a martial artist, but no sir, you can not become a great martial artist with out becoming a great fighter. To fight is most certainly not the aim of any true martial art, but they are fighting arts all the same. As martial artists, we must stand ready to fight, even if hoping that such conflict never comes.

I like hakutsuru (we actually do a goju version) & seiuchin but my fav right now is probably gojushiho-cho.

For weapons it is Shimijiri no kun ni.

The only two things that stand between an effective art and one that isn't are a tradition to draw knowledge from and the mind to practice it.

I like all my katas. Sunsu is probably my favorite open hand, and Shi Shi No Kun No Dai is probably my favorite weapons kata although it feels like it takes forever to get through sometimes.
