Matty the smarting-nosed “reindeer”
Wolfgang. He’s an old favorite of mine and my parents. He reminds me of my dad in particular; has an awesome jacket, wears glasses a lot and listens to music all the time (though my dad likes 80s prog rock not D&B)
Bruce is also a really nice one that I happen to have in my town. I would also recommend Apollo. He’s just iconic. 
wolfgang or fang. i've had fang since my nl town and i really love him. his personality is cranky but i honestly don't think he's cranky at all lol. he's really cute, just an old soul stuck in a young wolf's body.

Apollo, Wolfgang, and Grizzly are my favorites!

Cranky is one of my favorite personalities! I love Chief and there are so many others I'm interested in one day cycling onto my island, including Apollo (classic bald eagle, such magnificent creatures), Wolfgang (so sophisticated), Dobie (old cranky man who's probably very soft on the inside), Hopper (such a cutie with his chonk), Gonzo (the tuffs of white fur on his face are adorable), Knox (Medieval knight, need I say more) -- just to name a few.

Kabuki is my favorite cranky!
Cranky is my least favorite personality, and I am considering not having any in the future, so I will try to advise from that perspective.
Perhaps if you favor the lazies choosing a cutsier cranky might help? Most of them look kind of angry, but Vladimir and hamphrey are little and round. And Vladimir has the play hobby, so he’s probably be running around all the time, which sounds cute.
Tom looks like angry Moe, and the cats are mostly pretty cute.
Cyd is a new villager and would be fun to have, and he is pretty cute and I like the bright color.
Gaston and Gonzo are both cute as well. Spike, if you look past how big he is, is very cute. I like his eyes, and he looks cuddly.
The wolves are not my fave but most of them are pretty inoffensive and don’t look as angry as most of the crankies. Other people are doing a much better job than I could of talking them up.

if it was you I'd never want to leave...
octavian is the best cranky. that said, there's a lot of good crankies out there and one of them is dobie. his popularity skyrocketed ever since NH came out and its so good to see this boomer getting the limelight he deserves.

My favorite crankies are Roscoe, Static and Chief. but I do quite like the cranky personality overall and I’ve been thinking of trading out Chief for a different cranky that I’ve never had before.
