1) Alterzim Stronghold
I love this map, it is my favorite map from HotS. So many great memories Also some of the best games happened there(sOs - Yoda? Zest - soO(I think))
2) Yeonsu
I was never into blink builds, but I kinda loved this map in PvP and PvT, it is a nice map with an interesting style with winter and green sets
3) Inferno Pools
Many great memories tied with this map. Like PvZ for more than hour, where I played on 1 base and Zerg had the whole map and I was just migrating with MS from base to base, oh the good ol' SH stalemates
4) Akilon Wastes
Map with Carrier build, everything explained
5) Antiga Shipyard
One of the best small maps
6) Tal'Darim Altar
Great memories and probably one of the only maps where I wasn't that much furious because there were no ramps
7) Cloud Kingdom
Obvious.
8) Shakuras Plateau
Dark map yet visible. Interesting layout. Defendable against drops yet open to drops. This map is good
9) Zerus Prime
MEGA MAP with so many free bases, so many insane builds, so many insane games(Hi, CatZ!(he played there a game where he won with Carriers, storms and blords))
10) Metalopolis
The 1st map where I practiced the walling thingy and it worked(except the 1 game where I blocked my nexus with a pylon ) Love this map

What I think is interesting, many of my maps are NOT DARK! See, Blizzard, you can have a map pool with bright maps!
(no LotV maps as I still think LotV sucks and I don't play it)
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

If we're only counting maps that got played in broadcasted tournaments :

10. Expedition Lost
Because #ByuLshit. Also a good map, interesting and innovative, that sadly got a lot of hate because it was non-standard.
9. Pantanal
A good, while somewhat forgettable, solid map, which was really enjoyable to play on at first. Too bad it got overplayed and everyone grew sick of it. It also had the tendency to produce always the same PvT games.
8. Neo Planet S
Yeah it's an early HotS map, but yeah it was awesome. Like, really awesome. Also, the memories of Stephano vs ForGG will forever be in my mind.
7. King Sejong Station
A proof that PL maps are best maps. It's innovative, it promotes interesting play, yet is balanced if we look at the figures. It's also a snow map, and everything that breaks from the terrible trend of grey-black-dark map is GOOD (you know guys, there's "star" in "starcraft", and stars are supposed to be related to LIGHT).
6. Heavy Rain
Yes, it's a symbol of the Blink era as well as of the Swarm Host era. Yes, this is the map on which the infamous Stephano vs FireCake 3-hour long ladder game was played. And yes, it's just fucking awesome. I like its "lane" concept, I like its aesthetics, I have the memories of good games played on it, including ZvZ. I just think it was at the wrong place at the wrong time.
5. Habitation Station
As Templar said, this map had its own rules. I only rank it fifth because of its tendency to create (annoying) SH vs P or SH vs mech games.
4. Foxtrot Labs
Okay, let's get real on this one. It's just the second best map which ever graced the ladder mappool with its presence. Yet people hated on it because it was what cool kids did, and because it's so much easier to hate on the map than to accept that in a strategy game, terrain has an influence on strategy. But that map is just legendary, as well as being one the only map that was both well-made and annoying to the players, as some maps should be.
3. Outboxer
The second proof that PL maps are best maps. That was a very good standard map with personality, which produced very good games both in PL and in NationWars. Really sad the ridiculous folks at Blizzard prefered to put Merry-go-round or Catalenna in the map pool.
2. Frost
Yep, sick map. Standard, solid, interesting in all positions. Got a bit overplayed too after a while, but well.
1. Kamala Park
The Zest of maps. A shame only O'Gaming had the balls to make players play on it. Yet with very few knowledge of the map, players delivered good games on it. This map is genius printed on screen.

I'm sure some of my picks are a little less than standard, but I like what I like, I guess...

10. Bel'shir Vestige
All round solid map, easy top 10 pick, though not outstanding.

9. Frost
Solid economic map, enough said.

8. Polar Night
Interesting base layout, would have ranked higher had it utilized map space better.

7. Crossfire SE
I like the idea more than the map, still the concept is awesome enough to rank it in my top 10, including some incredible games.

6. Overgrowth
Solid aggressive map, enough said.

5. Whirlwind
Solid economic map, enough said.

4. Neo Planet S
Donuts for life. Interesting golds and pathing. Scary third in some cases.

3. Cloud Kingdom
Masterpiece of it's time. Before blink really became a problem.

2. Habitation Station
Map invented strategies not possible on other maps, big win.

1. King Sejong Station
Incredibly unorthodox pathing and base layout. Fun map no matter how I played it.

Edit: It warms my heart to see Yeonsu made a few peoples lists or honorable mentions, even if it didn't make mine :D

Clear winners are Overgrowth and Coda. I also liked Cloud Kingdom and Daybreak a lot, but I don't think they are very well balanced.

Tal Darim Altar, Xel Naga Caverns...

And I know I'm going to get some haters but I have many fond memories of Kulas Ravine.

Since then Cloud Kingdom, Ohana, and (guilty pleasure) Prion Terraces.

Edit: Possibly also Fruitland.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

10. Korhal Sky Island - Really cool/fun map. Wish we saw more like it.

9. Ohana - really balanced and nice theme

8. Whirlwind - Macro boys!

7. Taldarim Alter - After the first 4 gate nerf, I had quite a number of good games here.

6. Belshir Vestige - I remember seeing this for the first time at IPL 5 Korea v World. Then it became one of the best HotS maps ever.

5. King Sejong Station - Probably my favorite/most balanced 2 player map. Plenty of great games, and not as many rushes as on CK and Ovie.

4. Cactus Valley - HYPE

3. Shakuras Plateau - What a brilliant map. This is was straight up an amazing map back in the day. HuK v Idra, Mvp v Nestea, DRG v MMA!

2. Akilon Wastes - When HotS beta was at a close, this map was by far my favorite. I know a lot of people dislike it, but I had a hell of a good time on it.

1. Metropolis - Islands. Long enough for safe macro. Too bad the ladder version lagged like all hell...
