Beaver first, good quantities of them, large pelts to make anything you need from hats to blankets, the meat is edible if handled properly and cooked well and every part of the beaver is sellable (except guts)and they are just plain fun to trap. I would love to trap wolves also.

For me, I really like fisher trapping. However, it isnt a huge challenge where I am. Just a matter of how many you want.
Other than that, likely beaver, just because its a bit more of a challenge.
If I was limited to only one though, I dont know if I would trap. I love all of it. From the challenge of footholds for canines, to snaring fox,...I love otter in crossovers, muskrats are fun, Beaver under ice are an awesome challenge, especially when you need to get 30, 50, 100 a year for quota here in Canada. Even snaring rabbit in winter. Seeing that first fisher in a 160. Even a coon in a trap excites me. I feel like only one animal would suck in a big way!

For me, it would be a spotted up cat. Seeing as I've never caught one, none here in my area, I may have to take a road trip next fall so I can.

I have caught all the beaver and otter I want. If I had to pick one It would be rats.

Since I was a boy, I went trapping with my dad and he always let me set a few weasel traps. I still enjoy trapping them. But, since they're not really worth anything much, I won't trap them.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.
