It's not even a close contest for me... Hakata style, called Tonkotsu in your poll, is the best. White, pork and garlic-flavored broth with sliced pork and onions and straw mushrooms on top.

You know, I was traveling through western Japan in the winter of 1996, and I purposely timed it so that I arrived in Hakata/Fukuoka on Christmas day, so that I could have real Hakata ramen from a street stand in Hakata for my Christmas dinner. It was sooo goood!
