For the record:

Chang Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom
Georgia Scorcher Six Flags Over Georgia
Iron Wolf Six Flags Great America
Mantis Cedar Point
Riddler's Revenge Six Flags Magic Mountain
Vortex Paramount's Carowinds
Vortex Paramount's Great America


Just so you know what to base your answer on!

For myself, I think my favorite B&M Standup is Scorcher.

I've ridden
Iron Wolf
Change
Mantis
Georgia Scorcher
Vortex at Carowinds

I'd probably say I liked Scorcher better. Chang would be my second pick. I think the genre is better suited to the smaller designs though. The Scorcher while not having many inversions, has some great turns and force changes in its layout that make it incredibly fun. You get alot of float on the 90 degree banks and the left turn down into the helix after the first turn around.
I haven't ridden Riddler, but it seems people consider Riddler and the Scorcher to be the best of the bunch.

Edited for photowhoring fun!

Mantis
Chang
Scorcher
Iron Wolf

It's not that I didn't like Scorcher, I was just really pissed off when I rode it and therefore didn't focus much on the ride. I have no doubt that it's an awesome ride. Hopefully my view will change during my next visit.

Why do I still have a donkey title???

I have been on RR, Chang, Mantis and Iron Wolf.

I would say RR is the best, Chang in 2nd place, then Mantis, and Iron Wolf in dead last.
