My favorite is Matusalem Gran Reserva 15 year Solera. I've also had the 18 year but didn't find it significantly different. They also have a 23 year but I have never found it in a store.
I usually just stick to Goslings or Cruzan. I only use rum with Coke or tonic. It's one spirit where I'm perfectly OK not feeling the need to explore further. I have enough to keep me busy with beer, wine, vodka, scotch & gin, lol. It's sort of like tequila to me - I know there are quality bottlings, anejos and whatnot, and while I've tried many, I just don't care enough to add them to my bar.
Other than PR, I haven't spent any time in the Caribbean since the early 80s. But I did visit the Bacardi factory back then. And I found I preferred Cruzan dark, which, on St. Thomas in 1981, was actually cheaper than bottled water.
My favorite 3 rums right now (always subject to change) are:
Zaya
Zacapa
10-Cane
I'm pretty much an any gold or dark rum person. I consider Mt Gay and Myers and Goslings house rums.
Here's a few picture of the sort of collection I keep at home:
