I'll play anything. Except dungeon. And castle. And conflux. Tower ain't exactly my fave either, but I don't mind it as much as the others. The rest is pretty much okay I guess.

Top3:
1.StrongHold - just like the creatures, and the look of the town(stupid reasons)
2.Castle - i always believe in what is good and righteous!(Crusaders, Marksman, AA rocks da house)
3.Dungeon - dunno, but they seem cool
Drop3:
1.Inferno - too expensive, too demonic, too evil...
2.Conflux - gayest looking town, just hate them...
3.Fortress/Rampart - cant make a choice...but someone gotta be here...coz its top3
So so:
Tower - they cool, lots shooters, good magic, too expensive
Fortress/Rampart - Fortress beautiful town, warm swamp but creatures way too much defense orientated.Rampart - strong mobile town, but i dont like the look of them, kinda girly/childish, dunno...
Necropolis - 50-50 , zombies, wights, ghost - suck.Dread, vamps, skelies -rocks.

top
1. dungeon--warlocks gain sick spell power; two shooters without melee pentalty, 3 fliers. minotaurs do sick damage. frequently gets earth and fire magic. armageddon strategy.
2. tower--great spells. good shooters; nagas and golems are durable.
3. necropolis--powerful forces and solid magic. necromacy can be deadly.
middle
1. inferno--excellent speed for level 6 and 7. two units with no retaliation. armageddon strategy makes up for somewhat poor units like gogs and demons. good magic.
2. fortress--great defense. creatures have useful specials. ironically withces have poor magic. fortress should have level 5 guild and castle should have level 3 guild.
3. stronghold--great offense. can embarrass other castles if they get great artifacts and learn magic at other bases. shooters suffer from melee. bad magic at home base however. lack of crystal can be a killer.
last
1. castle--one of best in game, but too normal for me.
2. conflux--one of best in game, but personally i don't have fun with them.
3. rampart--worst castle in the game. elves are overrated. get slaughtered before they can even shoot in most battles vs other heroes. dendroids suck compared to other level 5s. pegasi suck and are too expensive in crystal. dwarves are decent but too slow and defensive. only respectable units are gold dragons and centaurs.

i have nothing with your list c0ldshadow, that's just prefference. What i don't agree with is that rampart is the worst town in the game.
Rampart is awesome, a lot of good heroes (mostly rangers) awesome start. The units are usually cheap and you can go for unicorns and castle if the map is decent.
If the map is rich you can do a lot of snow. My record so far with rampart is getting gold dragons on day 10 on a random map.
True, grand elfs aren't that great in a battle against a human opponent because they usually get taken out first. But they are really good at clearing the map, especially the slow moving stacks, which your opponent might not be able to do so easely. That again gives you an advantage early on, being able to clear the map more efficiently and with less losses than your opponent. Same deal with your starting army. I consider the rampart army the best starting army from all the castles. Day 1 you have horde of centaurs elves and some drarves which are good fodder sometimes. This again gives you an advantage early on which is again important.

what difficulty do you play on to get gold dragons day ten on a random map? i find that hard to believe considering how much crystal you would need. if i remember correctly its 10 crystal just for the lowly pegasi. please explain how you did this.
i could see rampart being better than towns with lesser magic in certain situations. sorry i forgot to mention unicorns as respectable in my last post, wasnt thinking.
with proper magic a rampart can be dangerous to fortress and stronghold.
overall, i would say dungeon,castle,conflux,necropolis,and tower have better troops than rampart. i mean just going thru levels 1 thru 7 and comparing them to rampart overall i find these castles much better.
the grand elves don't help in big fights vs a good hero most of the time. the pegasi are terrible. dendroids i still think are worst level 5 in the game. centaurs are great, but having the best level 1 is not like having a great level 4 or 5. dwarves are annoying, but they rarely make a difference in a big fight i find vs another hero that is.

Top:
1. Tower - Naga Queens, Titans, Library, three shooters... mmm...
2. Stronghold - Ancient Behemoths and Crag are a nice pair. And I like the cheapness and looks of it.
3. Conflux - A nice town with nice environment. I like Magic Elementals and Phoenixes, but itīs way too strong, so I donīt play it too often. I still like it.
These are OK:
1. Necropolis - Nice Vampire Lords, Death Knights and Power Liches, but the environment is too boring nad gray. Zombies are grotesque and Ghost Dragons are way too weak. 
2. Inferno - A pleasant, red and hellish town. Arch Devils And Efreeti rock. Demon farming is a good hobby too. The heroes have no great skills, but there are exceptions.
3. Rampart - A peaceful place with Dragons and Elves. Unicorns are not bad either, but Dendroids and Dwarves are annoyingly slow. Good heroes.
Drop:
1. Castle - So normal and boring, so full of humans and stupid outfits. Some heroes and Archangels are nice, but the town is just not my style.
2. Dungeon - I donīt like the darkness, Harpies and Trogdolytes. Dragons are annoyingly expensive. I donīt like Overlords, but Warlocks are OK.
3. Fortress - Green, swampy, wet creatures. Moos are great, but I donīt like most of the creatures. They also have no Lvl 5 Mage Guild, so Witches are not that fantastic.

i already posted with answers to my top 3,etc.
obviously there are castles that some people like more than others, but i think all of them are appropriate for the game, with the exception possibly being conflux.
personally i think the creators of heroes could not have picked better castle types; i do not think they 'missed' any type of castle. i think they might have went a bit too far with the conflux town, however.
i think all the town suit all the terrain types well too..
i would have liked to see stronghold has its native terrain be desert though. to me there needs to be a type of town that resides in the desert, but i guess rockland is good enough.
