Well, I really can't decide. Actually I love all three speeches. They're all special in a way. Gandalf's is a bit philosophical, Sam's is more poetical and Aragorn's is encouraging and full of passion.

Added: I finally decided to vote for Aragorn's speech ;)...

I couldn't possibly decide... there are so many beautiful, beautiful speeches... and I love all three of these options. Other favorites are Galadriel and Frodo's conversation at the mirror ("To bear a Ring of power..."), Gandalf's to Pippin ("And then you see it!" it always makes me cry), Boromir's speech in Lorien ("The white tower of Ecthelion, glimmering like a spike of pearl and silver..."), Boromir and Aragorn's conversation at Boromir's death (*cries*), and.... well, there are way too many to list. LotR is full of beautiful, inspirational speeches.

I can't decide! I have so many favorites. Gandalf's speeches, Theoden's speech and Sam's speech are all my favorite. :)

Out of our options; I would have to say Aragorns speech. I can quote that by memory.

"Hold your ground, hld your ground. Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers; I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is NOT this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is NOT this day. Ths day we fight!!! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you --stand, Men of the West!"
