Saurus, Diva and all Xils Lab synths (especially Syn'X, formerly called Synthix when it was released).
Best freeware analog modeled synth is OBXD for me.

Well, I never cared much about "analog" anyway so my favorites are more analog digital hybrids.
PPG Wave V3
Imposcar2
and if they would have a better copy protection I would also buy Xils PolyKB II that would be my third choice. But so far I'm also quite happy with the player version when I want some analog sounds.

Diva and Synth Squad are definitely from my favourites but I don't have them!
It is really difficult to choose only 3 (from my modest collection), so I will put them in three degrees of how I favour them
1. It must be Retrologue. This is the perfect synth for me. I feel like I own a Roland Jupiter (or in the same level).
2. Korg Mono/poly, MS-20 and Polysix. I just love the sound of them. So musical and inspiring sounds.
3. Monark, SEM V and Xils 3 Le. Those have very different characters of course, from the agressive Monark to the very organic Xils, while SEM V has a balanced sound (Something like Retrologue, but still different).
I also like Subtractor and Thor in Reason. They are very usable and can do great bread and butter sounds. Thor is of course more capable than that. What I really like is how creative I can be with wiring cables among synths, utilities and effects.
Sometimes I use FM8 or Massive for a simple analog sound! So some "digital" synths can do analog to some degree and it would sound good in the mix, but still it is easier to program a Subtractive synth for a cliche analog sound.

As I'm freeware only:
- SQ8L: the modeling of the analog curtis filters is stunning and incredibly close to the real thing.
- OBXD: I don't think it is an exact emu, but the character is absolutely there.
- PG-8X: also pretty close to the real thing.

CrimsonWarlock aka TechnoGremlin, using Reaper and a fine selection of freeware plugins.

Diva, Monark, BassLine-101 & U-No-LX.
Yes, it's not 3, but 4. They are all great, but I think that BassLine-101 is actually the closest and probably the most accurate of all.

I use TAL Bassline 101 for most softsynth jobs
I'm a fan of Diva, but don't own it.
Monark strikes me as good, but I don't get on with it for some reason. Not a big fan of the Reaktor interface and patch organisation
