After a couple of conversations in Discord over the weekend, the idea of getting an informal poll of the community's favorite dungeons to run seemed to be a decent idea to me.
So everyone who wishes to, feel free to pitch in your 2cp. This is completely optional and not part of any staff survey or analysis, just my own curiosity. Vote for your favorite dungeon within each of the following expected level brackets:
3-5
6-10
11-15
16-18
19-20
21+
As an example, I'll post my own votes:
3-5 - Deserted Farmhouse
6-10 - Hullack Goblin Bolthole
11-15 - Witchlords Keep
16-18 - Ogre Lord's Redoubt
19-20 - Sunset Mountains Gnolls
21+ - Lava River Goblins
I'll keep a running tally of the totals in this post. Let's keep replies here to strictly giving votes and maybe if you want your reasons why you like each dungeon, not required though, and not get bogged down with critiquing other players' choices.

I've never had a PC past lvl 18 so that's that. My choices are based on the risk/reward, whether I find any parts of the dungeon irritating (glares with vengeance at those deadly traps in Tower of Ruin), and the ability of multiple characters of mine to complete it (since I primarily fly solo because #sointerverted)
Sewers
Goblin bolt hole
Witchlords Keep
Lightning Peak
Nobody at 20 and given the option Broken Sky trump LP
