top choice

Number one pick

Top choice is the preferred or most favored option among alternatives.

It suggests careful consideration and selection: Salmon was my top choice for dinner.

The phrase often appears in recommendations and rankings: This hotel is our top choice for budget travelers.

Someone's top choice may not be what they ultimately get.
