My favorite is Blue Mountain from Jamaica, so I voted Other-not listed. We haven't been back lately to buy it though, and I refuse to pay US prices. My second favorite would probably be Kona, but most of what's available to us on the mainland is a blend, which ruins it, IMO. For blends, I usually choose Columbian, which is my daily drink of choice.
Jamaica/Puerto Rico/ Kona Hawai'i but not neccessarily in that order.
When I am in Puerto Rico (where I will be on Tuesday) I get my coffee from a small organic Coffee producer near my home in Rincón..
A larger plantation is in Adjuntas, waaay up in the Sierra..called Sandra Coffee Farms
It is so fresh and delicious, I either drink it straight black, or Puerto Rican style, 1/2 coffee 1/2 scalded milk.
I just started drinking coffee again and it's all coffee to me. Now one son is not bashful about wanting Kona from Hawaii. I am debating on trying it. A tad bit fearful of liking it better and oh the cost.

I don’t know if it was available in 2008 when the poll was done, but I find the absolute best, not on the list to be Cuba. It was available for a while in the US but seems to be gone again.
If you get a chance, try it!
Here in the Philippines (not listed in the poll), a very good coffee grown in Mindanao, my wife's family used to grow coffee. Locally produced Excelsa, Arabica and Robusta are all available locally, quite cheap. It's all we drink, Arabica/Excelsa blend, lightly sweetened with unrefined cane sugar.
No Idea, it may have been grown in an empty lot in NYC for all I know. I do Know that I love it. Newman's own extra bold.
