I hated Taris with a passion. Too many mobs that knock you off your speeder so you can't get anywhere with any level of speed, as well as the respawn rates being rediculously too close together.

Actually, now that I've got a decent level on my Republic alt: Taris for Republic is literally 100x less aggravating than for Empire. Taris for Empire is respawns, dismounts, crap you can barely see, schizophrenic quest direction. Taris for Republic is wonderful, provided you don't do that quest to get Rakghoul plague.
Empire side Taris is the absolute worst I've experienced.
The plural of anecdote is not "data".
Voss. Ugh, It just felt like I'd never get out of the place. But the Inquis class quests there were some of the best I've seen In SWTOR so far.
The only correct answer here is Alderaan. And not because of the story or the scenery or any other such nonsense. Because there aren't hardly any frickin' speeder points on the entire planet. You have a bunch right near the starting area and then it's a day's ride on your slow ass speeder to get all the way across the map. Only to find out there still aren't any taxi points.
I did my class quest stuff there and then GTFO.
Everything where elevators are a necessity or I get shot off my speeder by grey mobs because they are right in the middle of those 15 chokepoints I have to pass on the 10 minute way to get to the green mission I'm on...
There's places I hate and love on all the planets.
For me as Republic, I have to say Quesh. The planet seems like they just stuck in between Balmorra and Hoth as a filler, and the story line there is terrible.
Worst:
Voss
Belsavis
Balmorra
Imperial Taris
The thing I refer to as the shuttle planet. arrrgh. Why can't I just land at planets from my starship?
Best:
Dromund Kaas
Tattooine
Hoth
Corellia
Nar Shaddaa
Korriban
Republic Taris
The rest is pretty meh to me
I don't think any game engine can do Coruscant and Nar Shaddaa justice. Bioware made it work, but you can see through it pretty easy. Those planets are lacking. I think they managed to stay visually appealing though.
My favorite is probably Alderaan. I took so many damn screenshots...
