Iron (Fe), since it's such an important structural material. Also, there's a lot of science and finesse involved in getting iron to have the right properties (hardness, toughness, strength, corrosion resistance, etc.) through alloying, work hardening, and heat treatment.
Second would be hydrogen. Remember, everything other than hydrogen and helium is a metal!

Re: Favorite element?
Honestly, I'd say one, but I feel like all of the ones I'd say Argon.
(But actually though, I'm a fan of noble gases, especially Argon because punz.)

Re: Favorite element?
ANTIMONY! I always liked the weird letters-don't-make-sense elements.
Also, the abbreviation for antimony is Sb, "Antimony sounds like "Anthony," and Susan B. Anthony's first and middle names abbreviate to Sb. Too funny!
