Round #2
Carbon  
Technetium
Helium

Round #3
Iron
Lithium
Nitrogen

The winner is Carbon.

My favorite is also carbon. I have reasoning to choose Carbon. For those who know recent developments in carbon nanomaterials such as carbon fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphene nanoribbons, carbon nanoflakes, etc, there is no need to explain about the versatility of carbon.

Apart from these, carbon is central to our body. Organic chemistry, most of the living things contains abundant carbon.
