    O wins because it has the most forms of symmetry.

    O might be the one letter that generally looks good in any and all fonts.

    However.

    N and Z and S all have their own distinct merits. So does B, but it lacks the circular symmetry thing which, while interesting—I am personally a big fan of Glagolitic compound letters and Chinese and Japanese ideograms—is not quite as satisfying on that level.

    I would like to argue for the cursive 'G,' personally. It's always had a shape that is pleasant to pen. 

    I do really enjoy writing 'Z' with a strikethrough, however. 

    Lowercase 'q' gets an honorable mention, as I like doing the backwards tail.

    Cursive capital G is highly aesthetically pleasing in that asymmetrical way I discussed earlier. It is also a rare overt instance of the shape of the "insular g" or "yogh" being reflected in modern orthography. All-around nifty and underrated.

    That's a less overt instance of old practices being preserved, albeit primarily in typeface rather than actual writing, but it is a cool-looking letter as well.

    It could be the way I write it, but capital E is pleasing to write. I draw a C them stick a line through the middle to make a pleasing, curved letter.

    In fact, all my letters are curved. Even the ones with sharp edges, like v or z.

    So like a big epsilon. Cool!

    Traditionally, cursive v is actually curvier than cursive u.

    When I worked in a warehouse doing picking/packing last year, I had to write part numbers all the time.

    I quickly ended up tweaking my handwriting to make certain things less ambiguous...like crossing my Z's to make sure they weren't mistaken for 2's.

    Maybe it's because I model my typical handwriting after sans serifs, but I abhor using cross bars on Z's (and, for that matter, on 7's). They're unsightly and I refuse to include them.
