Mine most definitely has to be Dain Ironfoot's arrival.

Since this is the last new soundtrack, I'm savouring every track. I've heard the CD up until the "Guardians" track. Some lovely stuff in there.

And hands down, i really love Sons of Durin and Billy's song. :) They're both perfect!
"By Elbereth and Luthien the fair, you shall have neither the Ring nor me!" ~Frodo
"And then Gandalf arose and bid all men rise, and they rose, and he said: 'Here is a last hail ere the feast endeth. Last but not least. For I name now those who shall not be forgotten and without whose valour nought else that was done would have availed; and I name before you all Frodo of the Shire and Samwise his servant. And the bards and the minstrels should give them new names: Bronwe athan Harthad and Harthad Uluithiad , Endurance beyond Hope and Hope Unquenchable.." ~Gandalf, The End of the Third Age , from The History of Middle Earth series

But my favourite has got to be the end part of Mithril, where we get a nice, war-like Lake-town theme that segues seamlessly into the war-like Durin theme.
Other notable ones are Elrond and Saruman's arrival, the reprise of the Azanulzibar theme in Ravenhill, the elvish theme in Bred for War - these are just off the top of my head, I'm sure I'm missing a couple more.
Oh and the new theme that plays in On the Shores of the Long Lake and Ironfoot!

so sorry if I can't tell the exact name of the music piece, but I am always moved/thrilled when horns are blowing. Bombur's or in Dale it does not matter, I always get goosebumps.

Hearing part of the Imladris theme during the Guardians of the Three and the Sons of Durin track.
Faramir: “I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.”

That is the theme for Bard's leadership (see the liner notes), and I love it too!

The horns playing in the end in Dale are actually playing the Erebor theme! And it was actually written by Shore, that short horn call/piece.

I think my favourite part overall is the gorgeous choral music Shore wrote for the Smaug attack. When Bard is firing his final arrows, and Bard's family theme is sung by a female choir.

The father/son dynamic in that scene is quite powerful, and the music on top of it makes it doubly so.
I think the choir in that moment somehow perfectly expresses the desperation of Bard in the scene, in one last effort to save his child/family/home.

The choral piece during fire and water

I can't remember because I've only seen the film once, but listened to the soundtrack a bunch, is that choral bit specifically for defeating Smaug or is it for Bard's children?
Either way, it's simply some of Shore's best music and unlike anything we've heard before in Middle-Earth.

3:37 of Fire and Water is Bard's Family theme is for the bit when Bard is aiming the arrow using his son as a bow. The theme plays a few times afterwards in the film, all when Bard's family is present, but is not again performed with voices.
4:16 onwards is the music for Smaug's death

That is my favorite as well, but a close second is the music in "Sons of Durin" that plays when Gandalf says that the Dwarves are "rallying to their king."

I like Sons of Durin, Mithril and Ironfoot tracks very much. In the movie, the scene of Thorin and other dwarves running into the battle field and its background score were epic.

When Thorin gives Bilbo the mithril there's a lovely tune playing in the background, my absolute favorite of the whole trilogy

That tune is the same tune as when Frodo gets the mithril in FOTR, it's another cool connection to LOTR.
