Well since everyone else is saying gameplay...
Nue's the most fun for me, with GFW Marisa in second. Most of these bosses are pretty dull to fight once you get the hang of them, probobly due to the unreasonable number of non-random attacks they always have.

Koishi, without a doubt.

Yukari may be one of my favorite characters, but Koishi's boss battle is just so much better designed. Most importantly, the difficulty. Yukari was a joke, but Koishi was actually moderately challenging (I think it took me ~8-10 attempts to beat her the first time, and I haven't yet done a one-miss clear like with Yukari and Suwako).

Her theme song is better, and she's a more amusing character.

Finally, HER HAT. I don't know why I love that damn hat so much. I really want to bring it into Team Fortress 2 and put it (and the closed third eye) onto the Spy. Speaking of which, Koishi makes an excellent Spy (and I wonder what's for dinner how a Fancy Fedora would look on Koishi)

But other than that, I think Nue's pretty good gameplay-wise.  I was tempted to say Koishi, but her fight gets boring once you memorize everything.  When it comes to Nue, I could know exactly what I need to do, but she can still get the better of me every so often. :derp:
After getting accustomed to the attack patterns of both, I'd still have to say that I find Koishi harder.
On the other hand, I'd like to play against Koishi again, but DAMN the stage is SO BORING. In contrast, Nue's stage is much more interesting (and legitimately challenging), none of this obnoxiously slow bullet ring BS, instead you get some awesome arcade-style bullet hell patterns.

Well since everyone else is saying gameplay...

True that. I think all the Extra Bosses could use faster-paced and shorter battles with more randomized attacks.

 As a character, Yukari.
 Gameplay wise, Mokou.

I would say Mamizou because I think she has some pretty good spells for an Extra Boss. However, she has a boatload of terribufuckus ones too so I'll go with Nue because she wears those socks... and because of that final spell and a survival card where the difficulty doesn't rely on memorization. The rainbow UFO card and the Undefined Darkness card are also surprisingly fun for an extra boss. Mamizou though has too many of those superbly boring cards that takes forever to clear but aren't hard, a shitty final card and crappy non-spells. Nue's non-spells are actually fairly decent. Like Mokou's.

In general though, I agree to this statement:

Most of these bosses are pretty dull to fight once you get the hang of them, probobly due to the unreasonable number of non-random attacks they always have.

Gameplay wise, Mokou, since I tried only her and Ran yet...

Character wise it's Yukari.

Gameplay-wise, Nue. I'd find Suwako more "fun" if it included her stage. Really, most of the bosses besides, like, Ran/Yukari and Mokou are fun. The former is filled with "either know how to do or never do" cards while the latter's cards are just beyond terrible; they're always either clip-happy, purely pattern-based or BOTH. Some of them are simply bullshit, as well. SO ANGRY, THIS MAKES ME.

Suwako wins overall for CHARACTER, though. <3

Mokou is my favourite character-wise. In terms of gameplay it's definitely Ran; her fight is really fun.

Koishi, on both accounts. Her boss fight was always fun, even after learning how everything worked, and as for Koishi as a character, well, all I have to say is "thanks Gpop". :V

Nue's fight is great fun. I do enjoy that about her. As far as personality goes, though, that's Koishi all the way. Cute, possibly psychotic, smart, what's not to like? An honorable mention to Suwako, because she is just too playful and fun~

What is your favorite last spell theme?

You know these: In various games, occasionally the final boss moves beyond the final spell card to make one final desperation attack. Invariably, this is accompanied by awesome music. Which one do you enjoy the most? For PC-98 fans, Civilization of Magic counts.

Baity: For a moment, I thought you broke 1.1billion. Upon looking at my score.dat, I can assume that you destroyed the score that is my failed (first!) 1cc attempt on my first day of playing. Congratulations.

For the question I just missed, Koishi as both character and boss. Youkai Polygraph is a amazing attack, even if I've never reached it.  :3c

Favorite Last Spell goes to Voyage 1970, mostly because Voyage 1969 is my favourite stage theme.

Actually surprised by how many "last spell" themes there actually are. However, "Final" Border of Life beats all of them.

Kind of hard to pick, actually, as there's so few and they're all pretty kickass.
But I'm gonna go with Bhava-Agra As Seen Through A Child's Mind.

Yeah, Border of Life for this one.

PCB Normal happened to be my very first Touhou 1cc (and PCB was also my first Lunatic 1cc, incidentally).  Nothing beats that very first time you see the final card slow down and explode into hundreds of cherry point items just as that kickass guitar solo comes in.  It's just magical.

Border of Life

I find PCB to have the best progression of music throughout the game and after everything that came before, it's just a perfect end.

And also:

Edit: X, the Floating Objects in the Sky is pretty cool as well. HM to Voyage 1970, because it was the first Last Word theme I ever heard, and I still like it.

Bhava-Agra as Seen Through a Child's Mind.

No inferior versions of Bloom Nobly, Cherry Blossoms of Sumizome ~ Border of Life for me. Yes, I just said that Border of Life, the inexplicably popular final spell theme, is inferior to the song it's based on. Sue me.

This.  Word for word.

Best moment in Touhou.

Bhava-Agra as seen through a Child's Mind comes very close to being my favorite, but I still have to say that I'd go with Border of Life hands down...the epicness I experienced when I first faced it is indescribable.

What is your favorite last spell theme?
I really hope I'm not the only one to go "huh?" I don't even know their names. >_> Too busy trying not to die to pay much attention to a music switch. I honestly didn't know until the recent posts in this thread that Border of Life was a distinct "last spell theme".
