If you never read Percy Jackson, I've never read all of the options given but Cassandra Clare's novels especially Infernal Devices.
Infernal Devices Forever. <3
I love Koku. He is damn cute and should be the main character and not some lazy old man that supposedly genius but a sucker in his own life. Koku is Koku. Koku is CUTE. ~ B-The Beginning (A Netflix Anime.)

Maximum Ride <3 <3 <3 (three hearts because I love the first three books so much, but after that I thought they went downhill).
Okay, but this isn't even a contest because Harry Potter is and always will be the greatest.
I enjoyed the Hunger Games way back when and I liked the first Divergent book (haven't read the others...). I remember liking the Mortal Instruments books way back when as well. But nothing. moves my spirit. like Harry Potter. Harry Potter Generation forever and ALWAYS <3(okay i'm done now :p)
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.
Of the books on the list, my favourite is Harry Potter (which I think I'm due to reread but I have SO MUCH to read at them moment so it keeps getting put off). I enjoyed the first three Mortal Instruments books, but I thought they jumped the shark a bit in the fourth so I never continued reading them. I really like The Hunger Games as well. Not particularly fussed either way re: Divergent. Haven't read any of the others (aside from Percy Jackson, where I believe I read the first book quite a few years ago but never got around to continuing the series even though I enjoyed the book a lot).
Favourite popular series that aren't on the list would be The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater and Skulduggery Pleasant.
My all-time favourite series of books however is the Leviathan trilogy by Scott Westerfeld.
EDIT: OH OH I can't believe I forgot to mention A Series of Unfortunate Events because well, would you look at my signature. Lemony Snicket forever.

*gasp* I forgot about A Series of Unfortunate Events! I loved those books back in the day too. They really got me into reading when I was younger, and they are long overdo for a re-read!
EDIT: And the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series by Ann Brashares is one of my absolute favorites as well. One of my first novel attempts was basically just a horrible re-telling of Traveling Pants <3

Then it's between Divergent and Percy Jackson. It's a tough choice for several reasons:
I love the insight of human nature in Divergent. The series went downhill in the last installment; Divergent and Insurgent are okay.
Percy Jackson... well, I actually don't like him. I have this strong urge to find flaws in fans' beloved characters, and that includes Annabeth. The fanwar in Goodreads between Piper and her sates me. I like sideline characters like Hazel and Frank. That series I like, which doesn't focus solely on PJ. It's a slightly better series than Divergent until some day when Rick Riordan recycles his characters too much the fans won't bother to expect someone new.
At that time Veronica Roth will rise.
