1. Clean and Minimal Template
2. FolioTastic
these two stand out form the crowd and they allow for the most customization for the end user. I agree with some of the other posters, there are too many news based ones.
WordFolio – it’s beautiful, I absolutley adore it.

5. fun design
I like Foliotastic best. WordFolio doesn’t have nearly the same amount of features. Are people just blinded by the funky slider? Big deal. Foliotastic has Twitter and Flikr integration right out of the box, plus much better menus. That’s what’s going to make a good website, not a glorified slider.
I am voting for FolioTastic.
I really like a lot of them, but this is my choice:
