I think Drummond is good too, and Smith. But I guess there's just something about Griffith's acting voices that I always liked. Ryan Drummond for me. I always thought he made Sonic sound like a natual teen with a dash of 90s lingo. When his voice was replaced for 4Kids Jason Griffiths, I didn't like this as most fans did at the time. Not only was it unfair to Ryan Drummond but Griffiths made Sonic sound less mature and and more trying to be hip... However over time I think Jason Griffiths found a good behavior for Sonic that matched his character and more matured into the role over time... And then Roger Craig Smith replaced him by making Sonic sound totally radical and hip and not at all sound like a 90s dad or uncle trying to sound like a hip-teenager. Like Jason, I can tell Roger has matured into the voice over time but he made Sonic sound more maturer for his age.

So yeah, my over-all favourate is Ryan Drummond and kind of jealous of Sega Japan for keeping the majority of their voice actors on board since Dreamcast, while Sega of America changes voice actors every lustrum or so.
