They are all quite different :hmm:

I always liked how Mozart's music just kind of feels like it always existed somehow. Like somehow it is naturally occuring...somehow. I am not really sure how to explain it.

No strong preference.  I just pick their best songs and mix it with everything else.

Growing up my Dad put on Vivaldi every Sunday morning so the Italian gets my heads up as that was the composer I first learned enough to make it organic.

It's like asking which of my children I prefer.

Fascinated at how even the vote is :P

Granted the sample size is still kind of small.

It is very very hard. Bach gets the vote, but it's a photo finish with Handel and Beethoven.

Mozart feels like nature to me. Like, the music was heard outside somewhere.

Unlike Handel, who sounds like it was created to be played in a grand hall. It's big, playful, and complex. Vivaldi is the same. Beautiful, but manufactured with the acoustics of a hall in mind.
