Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Zodiac, night stalker, jeffrey dahmer? Probably missed some good ones. For me, easily Zodiac, I mean the guy was a fucking genius.

They all suck. Most got caught because they got lazy or wanted to. It's harder to get away with things today due to DNA but it's still possible. Like that air force guy Canadian told the cop he had a body in the back I think and mentioned in the interview what he did and nobody knew especially if you're not in a DNA database and have a clean record too.
I heard cops knew about Pickton out West but moved slowly or were like careless with their work.

The dead ones.
Fun fact. London, Ontario was considered the serial killer capital of the world at some point in the 60's or 70's and they figured a lot of them moved on and made their way to Toronto.
My brother used to live there and we found out that little bit of info when they kept finding a bunch of decapitated cats or cat heads around the city.
This was a few years later:

There's still tons in America who havent been caught yet. Clean record, cash and burner phone just to name a few things and cops are generally not doing much due to resources and things being costly and they have like tight budgets. The ones who never been caught and perhaps even living a double life with family were smart enough not to make things obvious.
If that air colonel never gave himself in he probably wouldnt have got caught.

If by favourite you mean most disturbing, I would say:
- John Wayne Gacy.
- BTK Killer aka Dennis Rader.

Whether we want to admit it or not, many humans have a morbid curiosity.
As a teenager, I read endless books about serial killers and was particularly fascinated with the psychology behind their crimes.
I wish I'd taken criminal psychology in school versus what I did take.
I don't have a "favourite" serial killer per say, although I do have categories.
Most animalistic goes to Andrei Chikatilo and Peter Kurten.
Most sadistic goes to Roy Norris and Lawrence Bittaker, the Toolbox Murderers.
Most strikingly intelligent goes to Edmund Kemper which with his size makes him terrifying.
Most interesting goes to H.H. Holmes and his murder castle.
Biggest liar (falsely claiming murders as own and numbers padding) goes to Henry Lee Lucas.
Most hated (by me) goes to the idiotic slug Arthur Shawcross.
Best book goes to Invisible Darkness about Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka. Not an easy read as it details the videos found in the attic.
Most prolific are Joseph DeAngelo, the Original Night Stalker (also found to be the Visalia Ransacker, the East Area Rapist AND the Golden State Killer and Samuel Little.
Both have only been caught fairly recently after decades.
Can you imagine finding out your grandpa is a prolific serial killer?
And Pedro Lopez who likely has the highest kill count... guess what? He is a free man. He disappeared after being released years ago.
