Favorite fight scenes are when characters fight for a cause more important than themselves, their own lives, or the lives of even their companions. Or fights for love. Yeah, pretty corny I know, but to me, a fight must be waged with a purpose. There's nothing worse in my mind than a meaningless fight or a fight that could otherwise be avoided.
If you want to get down to the technicalities, if I see a fight, I want to to be hand-to-hand combat. Except in rare cases, long range battles with huge guns blaring at one another is somewhat boring. If they use guns, it has to be a close range fight like in Grenadier or Cowboy Bebop. For the most part though, I find melee weapons (swords, spears, etc.) the most interesting and exciting to watch.
