Do you want to be pampered in luxury or do you want to party your balls off? Do you want to live around other people in your major, or a mix? Do you want co-ed floors or non?
Picking a dorm is 100% dependent on your preferences.

I lived in Willow. You can't go wrong with co-ed floors. It is right by Seasons dinning center, lied rec, and a bus stop. A lot of parking is also available.
Pre-emptive thread summary:
-Depends on what you're looking for, what your major is.
-Friley is fun and close to engineering stuff!
-Friley is smelly and stupid! You'd have to be an idiot to live there!
-Eaton/Martin are the nicest dorms.
-Eaton/Martin are full of boring rich snobs that hide from the world!
-Get the hell out of the dorms ASAP and get to a fraternity!
-Frats are stupid places, full of stupid people!
-Dorms are just as stupid, you only hate dorms because that one dude didn't let you into a part or something.
-MWL is party central, is close to Lied, has recently improved dining service.
-MWL has a prison like aesthetic and is far away from everything.
-Some old guy reminiscing and explaining how dorms are an "essential college experience"
-100 more posts of purely subjective arguments.

Old RCA, BWR now. All dudes, but there is a dorm that is all women less than a block away. Not to mention close to Jack Trice. Also huge field to play ultimate, football and any other shenanigans. Best 2 years of my life were spent on Welch floor.
Forgot to add, The rooms come furnished. 2 lofts, a dresser, walk in closet, computer chair, desk and small cabinet. Not to mention the rooms are pretty big compared to others on campus.

Are Eaton and Martin the most popular? Would i get in to Eaton if i put it as my top choice and applied right now?
If Farch tickles your fancy, you may also want to consider Knapp or Storms Halls.
For an engineering student I would highly recommend Friley, which you can be guaranteed a spot if you join a learning community. For any other major I wouldn't know, but avoid Helser if you know whats goof for ya. I would also avoid Willow and Larch if you don't like the sound of fire alarms going off 24/7.
Second this. Helser sucks. Too bad they havent knocked it down yet like was planned at one point.
