This always revolves because the following two has their disadvantages:

Buttonwillow--love the format...hate the bumps but deal with it. Its kind of further away too so you have to make a weekend out of it. Prior to Chuckwalla being built, this was my hands down favorite track that I loved to go to and was only an hour further away from Willow Springs. The Lost Hills turn (now named Phil's Hill) still stands as my all-time favorite turn out of any track---however the Bowl at Chuckwalla is slowly starting to replace it the more I ride Chuckwalla.

Pahrump--very cool format and great surface...just really far. However I have only gone their twice. (first time with Socal Trackdays. Second time with Ti2TT) With the new layout, I want to give it another shot. I plan on being out there again with TrackXperience for Memorial Day Weekend. The turn 1-2 combo is awesome

However considering I now have a 250 and the Daytona 675 is trashed, I may have to revisit the following tracks to see if my rankings for them change:

Buttonwillow, Pahrump, Streets of Willow.

As for the rest:

Fontana--convenient and expensive, but got old quick for me. Really only liked Turn 1 and 2 at high speed and the rest was okay. With the 250 this track would be even more boring for me.

Big Willow--never really liked it...Turn 6 cresting over it is cool. Turn 8 is fun at speed. Turn 9 is terrifying when at speed because of the wall.

Streets of Willow--on my 600 I liked it but would get tired quick. I want to revisit this track on my 250 to see if my opinion of it changed.
