Of the minor keys. F-minor is very silky.

Interesting you should think of F minor as "silky", Neil! I think of it as a dark, often stormy and passionate key.

As evidently did Beethoven (op. 95 and others) and Mendelssohn (Op. 80).

That said, the very idea of a "favourite" key-signature is broadly analogous to that of having a "favourite" composer, which says it all, really - but perhaps my "temperament" is "unequal" to further discussion of that topic...
