I thought this thread would be a good idea since some people may want to ride a particular bus when they are in a certain area? I couldn't find any other threads like this so apologies if there are any.
My recommendations:
MCL30307 (BD11LWU) - out of all the MCLs I've had this has to be the best. Gear change from 1st to 2nd is brutal. With a decent driver this thing can really shift.
MCM30089 (BV66GYD) - This one in my opinion seems to be the best out of all the Citaro Ks but they are all decent. Much better than your standard E200MMC at least.
SP40179 (YT10XCC) - a broken diff makes this one sound interesting.
VMH2574 (LA68DWO) - another broken diff which makes this B5LH sound interesting

DE1143 and DE1119, absolute screamers with a loud turbo leak

If you like Gemini 2s B5LHs with turbo leaks, HV106, HV51 and VWH1417 are worth checking out. The latter two are also great for revving and speed. There is another at AD, but forgotten the fleet number. VWH2104 is also worth checking out.
On another note as the 32 will be leaving EW, and won’t be on 107/113/240 TEH1230 ,TEH1231 and TEH1238 are probably the few that can rev properly with speed (had nice thrash on 113 when I rode on TEH1230). TEH1234 and TEH1232 are alright if you don’t mind the weird rattle. That’s the decent ones in a terrible batch of buses. For disclaimer, I haven’t rode those for months.

VW1381 is a good one if you like loud gearboxes, what a lovely loud Voith that has. I'm told VE3 is similar too. VN36159/16991 over at LI is another Voith B9TL that does have a loud Voith and the difference between Voith & ZF is certainly more noticeable than other Voith B9TL's. |

8792, this one makes a unique "sween" sound which I frankly kind of like.
8526, despite looking worn out, its a fantastic bus to ride for nostalgia purposes. It is also very fast and well maintained.
Any remaining 09 reg SP at RATP.
Any electric BYD bus.

I'd recommend fetching 16996 on the D8 given it has a topodyn, excellent acceleration from a Volvo B9TL.
