What is your favorite xenomorph design?

Reading HR Giger's Alien Diaries gives you a lot more appreciation of his efforts into designing the beast, so I have to go with the old Big Chap.

Where can one read his diaries, or is it only in book form?

Here you go, though you can find it at a myriad of locations. Came out in 2013. It's his production diaries on set. With great Polaroids of the production and great scans of his notebook sketches.

Would you say the production diaries are the same as those contained in the 'Giger's Alien' book?

Some of them are, this is just a complete version of all of it. It isn't translated, but there are sections that give translations for it. It's more of an artbook than anything, it even has his doodles

Yes.
I can't decide on my vote between the Queen and the original bio-mechanical xeno.
I like them both, a lot.

Also, it's not on the poll but I also think the Neomorph from "Covenant" was a top notch design.
