My favorite powerups are definitely the Tanooki Suit and the Hammer Suit

.
They've always been my top picks since the older versions of SMBX, even before the new Powerup Pack was released. There's just something classic and powerful about them.
I appreciate the new powerups a lot, especially how The Rip Lair’s Powerup Pack brings almost all the mainline Mario transformations into SMBX
it's amazing work. But still, those two (Tanooki & Hammer) hold a special place for me
