I suppose House Martell (*minor spoilers*)

Maybe I would have said House Stark in the first novel, but since then, they've dwindled too much in number for me to really like them as a house anymore. We only have-- what-- three or four left now, and one of them is three years old? (ignoring zombies, potential zombies, and potential fake deaths) For me, other the problem with the Starks is that they're all kind of stupid, and I feel as though several of their deaths have been the result of their own stupidity.
That's also true with the Greyjoys and the Baratheons for me-- Robert was stupid, Stannis was a jerk, and Renly was, well, silly, to the point of being stupid.
As harsh as Westeros is, so many of these families don't seem to have grasped the art of living in it. At least the Lannisters are smart, in that sense, as unlikable as they may be.
I have really been interested in the Martell storyline, from the moment The Mountain fell. Well, almost fell, sort of (again, more stupidity). I found their characters to have been really engaging, I enjoy whenever we cut to their world, and I am very eager to see how they play out in the end. Sometimes I secretly want them to defeat the Lannisters, take over, and turn Westeros into a giant vineyard.
"When we can take green from grass, blue from heaven, and red from blood, we have already an enchanter's power—upon one plane; and the desire to wield that power in the world
external to our minds awakes."
