Tim Drake - hands down. Dick really didn't become an interesting character to me until he was in the Titans, and really it was after he became Nightwing that I think people felt comfortable developing him as something other than Batman Jr.
Jason started out as an uninteresting Dick Grayson clone and then unfortunately was ret-conned to have a really jerky personality. I never identified with Jason and never really liked him much. I wasn't terribly suprised when he was voted to death.
But Tim always interested me - from his first appearance on. He wasn't a Dick Grayson clone at all, he was a nice kid, and he was smart. When he showed up he was already a natural detective, and something about the whole mythic "apprentice seeking the master" vibe that came off of his desire to become Robin. Plus, I liked the fact that he had a stable home life and was fairly well adjusted - a novel idea in the Bat-family at the time.
As for Stephanie, I didn't read the issues she was Robin in, so I can't really comment. I always thought she'd make a great Batgirl, and I was disappointed when they passed her up for Cassandra instead.
