After taking some notes from various classes, I have come across some of the
same translations:

好{す}きな音楽{おんがく}：Favorite Music

好{す}きな人{ひと}：Favorite person

etc.

Why would one use 好{す}き instead of 大好{だいす}き or 大事{だいじ}? Are all correct, and
its just a personal choice? (with the occasional exception of 大事{だいじ}) Thanks!

question
word-choice usage
Why would you use 好き to describe a favorite object?
There are several ways to say favorite, e.g.
好き、大好き、お気{き}に入{い}り、大{だい}のお気{き}に入{い}り, etc. Use of either of these is a
personal choice, but of course using a 大 would indicate a higher degree so
大好き＞好き and 大のお気に入り＞お気に入り as in the following examples:

> 好きな教科{きょうか}は理科{りか}と音楽{おんがく}です。
>
> My favorite subjects are science and music.
>
> 算数{さんすう}も好きだが、社会{しゃかい}が大好きです。
>
> I like arithmetic too, but social studies is my favorite.
>
> 高校時代{こうこうじだい}からロックが好きでした。特にGuns N' Rosesはその時の大のお気に入りのバンドでした。
>
> I liked rock music since high school. In particular, Guns N' Roses was my
> most favorite band at the time.
