Well, with the audios you don't get a choice. ;) I think they only started around 1999, a few years after Jon Pertwee passed. Tom Baker continues to decline invitations to be involved in the franchise, so the audios are only Doctors from Peter Davison onward (with the exception of the new-new Doctors, which the BBC has not licensed for audios).
That said, McCoy was the one doing new eps when I was a pup, and I really liked him. I caught most of his at the time, and continued to read the New Adventure novels after the cancellation, as well as some of the Past Doctor Adventures. Our local public television was really good about getting past seasons of DW, so I saw most of Three, Four and Five (Four many times). Tom Baker was my favorite when I was young, closely followed by McCoy. My mom learned to knit just so my brother and I could have the scarves!
I didn't especially like number 5 either.
I didn't care much for him when I was young, but as I got older he's really grown on me. It's strange, as I've enjoy Tom Baker's presentation less with time, so there's something in addition to nostalgia going on, I think...
I liked doctors three and four. I liked the trial of #2 and any episode with the Master.
I really liked Three, too (especially episodes with the Brigadier), as well as any Master episode (he's campy, but somehow he pulls it off).
I've seen a few of the first episodes, but they didn't play those or Patrick Troughton's much (I think they were afraid to air black and white shows), so I never really warmed to them.
BTW, I had a large poster of Tom Baker on the wall over my bed as a child.
I always knew you were a woman of superior taste and judgment!
