My housemate (who doesn't post here) would say: Portal Shrine (especially near big-D in the Chaos Sanctuary).
My favorite, since I learned from Lurker revelation that it also sets (set? obsolete now?) poison length to only the first frame, is the Resist Poison Shrine (because it essentially offered immunity to poison).
Just because it's my favorite doesn't mean I use tham that much. I'm generally happy to see wells, gem shrines and stamina shrines (though as of v1.10 with improved stamina potions that isn't so important).
When I'm playing a new untwinked in-blood-moor etc. character my favorite are the Exploding and Poison Shrine because the little potions sell for such a goodly amount of gold.
Before I learned about the resist duration effect on Resist Poison Shrines my favorite was that quirky old Monster Shrine. Man, if you gave me a Cow Level with tons of those lying around you'd see some compulsive shrine touching for sure. Cow Chow Chaos. :D
