I've tried all the flavors and each flavor went over rather well except for apricot or rose. They wouldn't touch either of those flavors unless they were mixed with other flavors. The one they really really loved was cherry, but they are no longer making that flavor 
You can always get a couple flavors and rotate the flavors or mix them together, that way they get something new each time and not the same flavor for 3-4 months straight. The CGD powder can easily last 12+mos in the refrig and much longer in freezer, so mix & match is my vote, your geckos will love you for it.

The Day Gecko Diet is just cherry/fig flavored CGD with a little extra sweetener added.

Thanks for the info! I need to order some food next month so I think I'll pick some of that up as a nice treat for them. I know one of my females loved the cherry/fig mixed together so she will be very happy to get that flavor mix again.

A lot of folks have said original and mango are the best choices.
Banana can either be a total favorite or a total fail, seems there are more extremes with it. The original is banana/strawberry mix. Mine don't seem to care for strawberry as much on its own, I often mix papaya powder in with it to make it more appealing - they love it that way. I don't think peach was an overall favorite either.

I'm happy to say we've tried every flavor with every one of our geckos.
It's completely different from gecko to gecko - and I can't even say it's species specific. We've begun to change flavors every feeding - and different geckos love different flavors. Some of our geckos eat less of certain foods knowing "a better flavor" will probably be used the next feeding. I feel like simplifying it to the "best flavor is X" is more of a, "All humans love steak". :lol: Plus this way keeps the geckos excited about feeding, since eating the same flavor every night I'd imagine gets boring.
One thing, tho... The Day Gecko MRP is the sweetest of all of them, and I've never seen a Rhacodactylus of any species refuse it. The only issue is - I wouldn't keep them (Rhacs) on that food long term, since in my opinion it could give them a sweet tooth and they may not want to go back to the "normal" food. I could be overthinking it - but I figure I should at least mention it.
On the same note - Our Phelsuma klemmeri are fed whatever our Rhacodactylus are fed that day, and they'll usually eat whatever is in the cup. They don't seem to be very picky either.
Just my $0.02!

List of CGD flavors
Since all the flavors weren't mentioned I'll list them here:
Crested Gecko MRP flavors: Banana, Fig, Mango, Peach, Strawberry, Original (Strawberry and Banana). All the flavors seem to sell well for me as a dealer. especially Peach and Mango. Original sells best. I agree with the comments above made about rotating them around periodically so the geckos don't get bored.
A note about the Day Gecko MRP, when Allen Repashy stopped making the two part MRP he was going to discontinue cherry. My Phelsuma had been loving the combo of Fig and Cherry, so I asked Allen to consider making it as a day gecko MRP. My Phelsuma have been thanking him ever since! I have fed it to the Rhacs as a treat, I noticed the Chahouas seem to really like it. I agree that it should just be a treat as it is more sweet than the CGD.
As for the other Rhac species (I work with all of them except R. trachyrhynchus), I don't think they have a preference although leachies have a slight preference for Banana. That was what the Leachie MRP was when Allen was making that a couple years back.
