I don't really care for stage 1-3 (although Yamame is top cute), but Chireiden is my favourite Touhou faction. They all have some of the best character design the series have to offer, and offer great dynamics between them.
You have the dumb as a brick but lovable bird who holds too much power on her hand, the mischevious cat who cares deeply for her friends, and their mind reading master who is shunned for her ability but found a remedy to her loneliness through communicating through telepathy with her pets. They really give the feeling of a tightly knit family, with the dedicated pets loving their hated master.
On top of that you have the close to mentally retarded Koishi, who gave up her sanity on her own due to the hatred of the others, betraying her sister but it being understandle enough for Satori not to hate her for it.

It's the faction that seems the most interesting and lovable to me. A group of rejects who love each other.
