HMS Hood, hands down. Stellar looks, best main armament of any battlecruiser built (8 15" guns, don't know of any other battlecruiser with that kind of firepower), very respectable armor for her time (though deck armor is complete garbage), and simply massive size. Not a good service record, but that's because the Admiralty went full retard mode, and instead of thickening her deck protection to an adequate amount, they just paraded her around the world...
