I think a lot of it depends on which Bond someone grew up watching 
first.  I grew up with Roger Moore as Bond so he's my favorite.  At 
least between Moore and Connery, I prefer Moore.  But I suspect for 
people who grew up with Connery as their first Bond, they prefer him. 
And I imagine something similar with the later Bonds as well.
