I like Ileia. I also like her significant copycat about as much. Hell, I like all the stuff my studio produces. And I really like the stuff I make myself.
I'm also a fan of doki and a number of RDS peoples. I like a number of Russian editors, both currently active (Aggressor, Bonefixer) and not-active-anymore (Pokich, UKMS-Z). I'm also a fan of a couple of Finnish editors, including FoxJones and Janzki.
As far as people I'd collab with, I think favourite-ness isn't exactly the measure of working compatibility, although that doesn't mean there's not a fair amount of overlap. Collab-wise, I'd say everyone I seriously collabed with I would be happy to work with again. In that, notable mentions would have to include the Canadian chapter of CDVV, godix, jasper-isis and even Orwell, with all of whom I worked on more than one project (even if often it was a sort of editor vs. beta-tester relationship). I'm happy to work with other people, if the working relationship proves good, productive and enjoyable. My work with Jasper on MEPs and then collab is probably my favourite out of that so far, mostly cause she's an editor with a really different approach from my own, but not one that's incompatible - and I trust her editing intuitions slightly more than mine, but not enough to shut down my own creative and critical thinking or make the workload between two editors totally unbalanced. So it really makes the whole process pretty enjoyable (which I can rarely say about my solitary editing - love the results, not so much the process).
It's harder to find editors that you can really work with productively than editors whose work you like.
