As the title said, who was your favorite Sensei on the entire series?
In my case, I'll probably be cliché as hell saying this, but I could not possibly choose anyone else besides J-man. Why? He is the quintessencial Sensei. He pushed them to their best whitout dissing them or training them just for their power, he bonded with all of his apprentices, he did not played favorites, he passed his dream to all of them, believing in their capacity to surprass him and achieve that goal. He did not saw them as tools to gain more power or trophies do show off to other senseis, but as part of his family.
He was loved and was loved by his students, being chosen as Godfather of Minato and almost causing a breakdown on Naruto when news of his death came to his ears. He also rooted for the underdog, saying to his former teammate Orochimaru that "it's no fun to train a genius!", and even then he managed to train various Legendary Shinobi and kunoichi in his life-time, from the Fourth Hokage Minato, passing trough Uzumaki Nagato and Konan to the Seventh Hokage Naruto.
And for everyone who is gonna moan: "Great teacher! Trained Naruto for three years and he just learned a bigger rasengan!" For you, I'll say two things: Jiraiya did not just taught him "a bigger rasengan". After training in a vast range of techniques (summoning jutsu, resisting genjutsu, walking on water, rasengan) he honed those skills to the max, simultainously augumanting his stamina and taijutsu. And second, even if he did not train him, he passed something way more important than a " secret jutsu" or a "sacred weapon". He passed his nindo and his dream. And that whats going to stay with his students until the end.
In the end, he did what a true master should: Continue to live trough the actions of his students.
