What a bad decade for superhero film scores!
That's not even a little bit true.
Even if you just count 2000-2009, there are a lot of really fine scores for the genre, even if many of the films didn't live up to their music.
X-Men 2
Hellboy
Hellboy 2
Hancock
All 3 Raimi Spider-Man films
X-Men: The Last Stand
Superman Returns
Blade 2
Fantastic Four
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Batman Begins
The Dark Knight
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Without a doubt, The Incredibles.
Because he slavishly imitates John Barry, one presumes?

Since the question is favorite score (singular)....
Actually, what Kevin said up front was:
"But what are your favourite scores? And which one is top of the pile?"
So many are good, as long as you put one on top. I put Hellboy (2004) on top, for me that's numero uno.

Iron Man 3
Close second: X-Men First Class
Quality choices.
It's too bad that Tyler got sideways with Marvel. Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World are two impressive scores and back to back.

Since 2000, more or less chronologically:
X-Men, Michael Kamen
The Punisher, Carlo Siliotto
Hellboy, Marco Beltrami
X-Men: The Last Stand, John Powell
Ghost Rider, Christopher Young
Spider-Man 3, Christopher Young
The Incredible Hulk, Craig Armstrong
The Amazing Spider-Man, James Horner
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Brian Tyler
I bolded the three I return to the most. 4 would be X-Men. Since then I don't really have favorites. There are ones that I enjoy (Giacchino, Beck, Tyler). There are ones that consistently bore me (Ottman, Jackman, Bates). There are ones that I enjoy specific cues or sequences. If you wanted to make the above 9 a top 10 maybe add Powell's Hancock, which makes up for an okay first half with a wonderful second half, or possibly Tyler's Iron Man Three.
EDIT: Oh crap, I forgot Jeff Russo's occasionally sublime The Umbrella Academy. So that's in there as well.

I forgot Elfman's Hulk - I love that score! It should be used for a Frankenstein movie.

I also find the 2000s onward difficult as there are few opportunities to really let loose in modern, fast-edited films. However I am partial to Silvestri's Captain America and Tyler's Iron Man 3.
I still wish Tyler's "Can You Dig It" was given a showcase in the actual movie. That would have been incredible.
