I'm not really into VAMs but, like Joey, I do like the '88-O Hot lips. I cherried this one at a medium size show close to 20 years ago for $12. It's in a PCGS XF45 slab.
1883-O VAM-52A
The 1921 VAM 1H Peace Dollar
Collector, occasional seller
So many cool ones, hard to pick a favorite. One of them has to be the 1898-O VAM 20. The only repunched date where the initial punch was with the wrong size date punch. This is an illustration that Leroy Van Allen did on how the Indian cent date punch lines up with the underdigits. Super rare, too. Most known are circulated, which is already uncommon for a 98-O.

11.5$ Southern Dollars, The little “Big Easy” set
Bought this at a pawn shop for next to nothing, 20 or 30 bucks, when I first started expressing interest in Morgans. Neither the shop owner or me knew it was a VAM. Is it the most desirable VAM? Not really but it's pretty cool for the money spent, making it my favorite. The M image is fuzzy but I shot it with a Pringles can rig.
All Morgan dollars have a VAM number assigned to them.

I like the 1888 O Hotlips - something sultry about it.
but also acquired the following R79 VAM 227-1 Slashed O Hit List in XF-40 with a population of 2 and only 25 higher.
It was surely a learning experience for me making VAMs much more interesting concept.

For Peace dollars it's a toss up between the 1922 "moustache, Vam 12a and the 1934-D doubled die obverse, VAMS 3 and 4.
