Seconded.
TOS-era hand phaser, first the gun-like phaser and the smaller, easily concealed one. -- RR
that one is the most badass trek phaser
they just had to go and redesign it again into a 'magic wand'
I like the late VGR boomerang phaser II
the FC phaser rifle rocks!
the early voyager phaser rifles were hideous . . .
I think my fav is the bajoran pistol . . . oh wait no! I just remembered . . . the Hirogen rifle! that thing was way cool
The TOS movie phasers are great, because they took an iconic design and added some more realism. And those "Amok Time" battle axes are just so classic. While we're on the subject of weapons, anything the Klingons come up with is usually pretty neat: that knife with the retractable extra blades, the bat'leth...even their phasers are pretty neat.
On a more peaceful note, I've always been partial to Uhura's ear widget. That may well be the most iconic, and yet mysterious, prop in all of Trek. What does she hear on there? Where does it get its signals from? Is it a remote link to Uhura's comm station, or is the device itself receiving signals from deep space? And most importantly, how long does she have to keep that thing in her ear for? To stay on topic, that right there is probably my favorite Star Trek prop.
And as far as tricorders go, I don't think it gets much classier than TMP's version, although Enterprise's slimmed down hardware is nicely modern.
Honorable mention: Sisko's baseball. Adds a real human touch to the proceedings.

Mine has always been the small, hand-held phaser I from TOS. I like that the trigger is on the bottom and has the scope that comes up when you turn the top dial.
That's hard to say. The TOS communicator is a sentimental favorite, but I also love the Star Trek III phaser pistol. It's a great update of the original design.
Good Will Riker

Spock's brain.
The one I made myself. It's fully functional, has hundreds of features, and very closely emulates what was seen on screen.
The First Contact phaser rifles are awesome.
Same here. I also like combadges.
