Most exciting-Archerfish, especially if they are trained to spit at their food.
Ugliest-Sailfin tetras, just because of their strange lumpy angry heads.
Least likely to survive-Chocolate gouramies, so few people buy sp. tanks for them.
Most misunderstood-Pirahna, just big tetras really. (still love em though)
Best begginer-Climbing perch, they will survive anything, no water, no oxygen in the water and poor water conditions.
Most boring-Anything in the top 20 most popular fish.
Most expensive-That aro or a really big Koi
Rarest-Loads of stuff, but I will offer up an melanistic anything, apart from Megalechtis thoracatum where a large population is in the Amazon.
Most beautiful-Il say it, then shoot my self: Cardinal tetras.

They are one of the most social fish you can get! They display amusing antics and each have individual characters. My clowns have skirmishes against the plecs against the fight for food. I have over 100 fish and they are probably the most interesting ones I have!
A boring fish would be guppies IMO.
