GJ 1214b Because it's like a "Hot shower" but on a planetary scale

Proxima b

Only 4 light years and in the habitable zone.

They’re all just rock or gas at this point though, we don’t know enough yet…

Kepler 22b would like a word.

No it wouldn’t. An earth-like composition for Kepler 22b was ruled out.

So it's a water world. It is still located in the habitatable zone, unlike Gliese 1214b. If it has an ozone, it would have the same surface temp as Earth, and its orbit around its sun is almost as long as ours. There is no way to tell if there is life in that water, but I would put money on it.

There's a lot that goes into whether or not a life can harbor life. We don't know much about the composition of the planet, how old the solar system was before the planet developed, we don't know of it core or if it has a magnetic field. Not many people realize that jupiter is a major reason why life is supported on earth. Jupiter is so massive that it "catches" a lot of massive asteroids that could otherwise hit earth and cause a mass extinction event

This is the part I think a lot of people miss when they estimate life in the universe.

Our planetary system has been exceptionally stable thanks to a calm main sequence star and a giant planet as protector. Yet even with the ideal scenario, and single celled "life" starting on Earth almost immediately after the late heavy bombardment allowed, it still took nearly 4 BILLION years for multi-celled life to evolve and flourish in the Cambrian explosion 500 million years ago.

I’ll just stick with nice, familiar Ceres. I weigh only 4 pounds there. After years of practice, I can slam-dunk a basketball there. I can hit a golf ball nearly to Vesta. Ceres is cool.

I really don't know many exoplanets so I'd have to go with Kepler 22-b because of the King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard song lol

Can't remember the name, but the rogues planet that shoots pink matter onto space

Hard to say. There are many cool Exoplanets, if I had to put my finger on just one though it would probably be Kepler-62f a super-earth orbiting within the HZ of a K-type main sequence star. But Kepler-442b and Kepler-47c aren't too far behind

Proxima Centauri B, because its the closest one to Earth

That one planet with the 90m km rings, I forgot its name

WASP-121b because it's so hot that it rains sapphires and rubies. Absolutely astounding
