And no redesigns of classic monsters either. For me it would be the Vashta Nerada.  I'm aware of the irony that my favorite monster and least favorite recurring character appear in the same story but what can you do. Like the Angels they take simple concepts and combine them into an effective monster. A living, devouring shadow that can strip flesh from bone in the time it takes to blink. Their monotonously speaking, skeletal puppets only further enhance their creepiness as you realise they are not just mindless monsters but thinking predators. |

The Krillitanes, easily. It's a shame that School Reunion kinda wastes them, because the potential of a species that constantly modifies its own traits in an attempt to become the perfect race is basically a sequel printer. You could literally turn them into any kind of threat, and still have it make sense. Plus, they know about Time Lords and shit, so they're immediately big stakes baddies.
Runners-up include:
*Gasmask zombies and the Waters of Mars, for pure horror.
*The Emojibots, because I found them visually striking and the gimmick amused me. Plus, "Smile" itself is just a great episode with good pacing and an irreverent sense of humour.
*The Ood. Having a race that's susceptible to telepathic takeover is interesting, and means you can have multiple "lead bosses" who all want the Ood to do different things. So the Doctor never knows what they're up to and who's controlling them, or if the Ood are being independent.
*The 2D monsters in "Flatline". We still know nothing about them and they're memorable as hell.

The Ood are a memorable design. The Silence were cool in design and concept, though oddly underused in the end.

The Silence!
Grossly underused villain and, frankly, deserved more episodes than The Angels.
The Weeping Angels are an excellent idea, but they only have one gimmick which drastically reduces the types of episodes that can be written for them.
The Silence has way more potential.

The Slitheen. Seriously, every time they farted it was enough for me to dive behind the sofa.

I still don't get what the Silence were all about. They were set up as the big bads but only appeared in like 2 episodes excepting cameo roles. Weeping Angels should have been confined to Blink |

If I had to say I'd probably go for those creatures in Father's Day.

Those things never made any sense anyway. The Doctor changes history all the time.
