North Vancouver Island, or the Inland Passage to Alaska. In fact, I'm trying to finagle our way onto such a boat.
 
Probably my answer would vary depending on whether you asked me before I had done liveaboard trips to Galapagos or Maldives or Burma or wherever, but currently I'm curious about the possibility of a liveaboard to the Northern Hawaiian Islands. I'm not even sure if there is such as trip available, but it's the only way to visit, AFAIK, whereas at other places I want to go on a liveaboard, such as Raja Ampat, it's at least possible to do it land-based.

I like liveabaord diving, so my LOB list can't really be reduced to just one, LOL. Realistically, my most likely next non-work-related LOB trips will probably be Komodo and Sipadan, but more out of convenience than the fact that they're at the top of a wish list.
 
Not saying this would be the best diving and it's probably something a lot of people have done, but I'd like to take a liveaboard around the Virgin Islands and dive some remote coves and off tiny islands. Nothing crazy but really exploring the small islands and hidden places. Lagoons, coves, keys, etc.
 
My two best were Chuuk and the Galapagos. I would put Chuuk in first place in large part because of the quality of the operator we had in the Galapagos. Perhaps if I had been on a different boat I would have rated the Galapagos first.

By the way, it will be hard to get a good idea from this thread. So many people have only done a handful of liveaboards (I only have 4) that you are not going to get a good comparison. I know people who are dive operators who lead trips and have done an enormous number of trips all over the world, but they are few and far between.
