With so many variants it´s hard to say.
But there are four airplanes that I really like.

FW190D---> Amazing at high altitude. Great maneuverability at high speeds and a great high tech piece at that time.

Me262---> First combat ready jet. Stylish plane It could have been deadly if it had been produced in massive quantities.

BF109F/G--> I used to fly them in IL2.

F-86F---> I know, it doesn´t belong to the WWII, But it is a so beautiful jet!!!!.

I think it would be neat to get the ta-183 with x-4 air-to-air missiles so it is still technically WWII themed. Maybe in a DLC or something.

P-51, no question.

For all round manouverability, firepower and the fact that it's long range bomber escort ability changed the course of the war, I'd have to say the P-51 Mustang as well. Plus it looks just as sexy as the Spitfire.

Personal fave would be a FW190 Dora D9.

But the undoubted best, the fighter that had the greatest impact on arrival would have to be the P-51.

I'd say the plane that carried Fat Man and Little Boy would be the plane with the biggest impact. Not to mention having the range and bomb capacity needed for late war bombing.
Gotta love the P-51d though. The P-51 and bombing go hand in hand.
Fortunately, a favorite isn't required. Too many to name and in different specialties.

I choose Yak-3P without second thought.

manuverability: excellent no other fighter can reach her.
fire power: excellent 3x20mm canon on nose.
speed: excellent with speedtoweight ratio.
acceleration: superb

I just impressed with this bird even though it went to full production in 1945.
Very small my lover
