I would'nt really say I have a favourite, different filters are useful in different contexts. Despite saying this I would say that Fabfilter Volcano, Nitro, FilterScape, Minion and Antares filter get used a lot on the software side,and Moogerfooger Access Virus (external input),and E6400 on the hardware side.

Hrm, my favorite filter ... well, I gotta say, the Melitta filters are pretty good although expensive, but if you can't get them most of the no-name brand coffee filters will work fine also. Depends on the coffee, if the coffee sucks, the filters wont do much better either.

I KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT FILTERS!

That being said, the best filters I've heard are the ones in the Triangle and Triangle 2 VST soft-synths by rgcAudio.

But I'd like to know: What features and qualities should be considered prefereable in a filter?

boy, that's a loaded question.
People have very different tastes. Here's a couple of things for starters:
bad filters create a "zipper" sound when they are swept, a high-pitched, incremental artefact instead of a smooth, continuaous change of frequency.
Some filters have a similar aliasing where a weird, off tune harmonic peaks out occaisionally.
Beyond that it seems even mroe subjective: Volcano has 5(?) different "sounding" filters to choose from. The demo might clarify things?

Tone2 Bifilter is the bee's knees.

The Xhip filter kicks my ass as well.

A couple of Buzzmachines - Zephod's and others

Obertone, now Tone2 Filterbank, is king

Basement Arts' new mini is pretty sweet...looking to buy soon

Frohmage for the super fine settings and the delay thingee. A very delicate f**ker-upper

Macomate - biggest most versatile comb filter I've ever seen. *EXCELLENT* if you learn to use it. It's really quite amazing.

Bugpass - gotta love that steep (48db?) chop

DtBlkFx - spectralisization station 2000

Now... can someone recommend me a great filter with an envelope follower? I have a couple of free ones but nothing is really taking me where I want to go. I'm also trying the MIDI route with some of my existing filters but any input would be much appreciated.

Adern Flexor
Creamware Interpole(uses the Moog filters from the Minimax)
Zarg modelled CEM filters (on ProWave, Solaris and ProTone) are amazing
The filters in Foorius by Antti (should be an fx version of that)

What are the best filters you have heard??
