yea, most memorable takedown is kinda tough when you're talking about an art that's mostly takedowns
i had a hard time picking and i've only been at it for a couple years!
how 'bout this, add to jubaji's question: what's your "go to" takedown? the question's been asked before but mine recently changed so i wonder how you guys are developing too.
my new favorite is sumi gaeshi. very similar to tomoe nage but higher success rate due to its being harder to see coming, harder to slip out of/reverse when you do see it coming, and slightly quicker. also, with tomoe nage it's preferable to have a symmetrical grip (both hands on the other guy's sleeves or both on his lapels) which is a dead give away if he knows the throw, sumi gaeshi pretty much has to be thrown with a standard grip.
guess it says something about my style that i always like the sacrifice techniques, i suppose i take "the yielding way" to heart.
