prefer / favorite

A couple variations on this sign.  You can sign "FAVORITE" or you can sign "RATHER."

FAVOR / FLAVOR / FAVORITE / PREFER / RATHER

NOTE:  If you do this sign on the lips,  it generally means "taste."  I sign it on the chin when I'm indicating "favorite, prefer, rather, and favor.)  But the exact placement of this sign is not a big deal.  The sign doesn't even need to touch your chin or lips.  Many people just do the movement "near" the chin and lips without making contact.
Here is the "FAVORITE-prefer" version:
