My favorite that I have read in the past year or so is The Radleys, by Matt Haig. It is about a British family of abstaining vampires. The parents are so proper and pedestrian that they don't even tell their teenaged kids about their heritage...until one night a boy tries to rape the daughter at a party, and as she defends herself, she grows fangs to her surprise and bites him.
The story is about the parents' marriage, too, and the father's bad-boy non-abstaining vampire brother, whom they call on for help. I loved the uniqueness of the plot, characters, and writing style.
So..my favorite vampire isn't just one, it's a family of vampires.
However, I would also like to say that a few years ago I saw a community theatre production of the Steven Dietz script that the IRT is doing this fall, and I loved it. Dietz is a "destination playwright" for me, so his vampire has to go on my list of favorites, too.

However, I think my all time fav will be the one I see at the IRT!
These notorious bats sleep during the day in total darkness, suspended upside down from the roofs of caves. They typically gather in colonies of about 100 animals, but sometimes live in groups of 1,000 or more. In one year, a 100-bat colony can drink the blood of 25 cows.
She's bloody sexy, dangerous and witty. She's the only female on my very long list of favorite vampires and I simply couldn't choose between the guys.
The IRS - They bleed me dry every year.
