  1. River - Unique buildings (water mill, hydro plant); food bonus for fresh water; Defense bonus.
  2. Hill - Early game production boost means first scouts on the board, and more goody huts for you; Defense bonus.
  3. Mountain - Observatory; Neuschwanstein on the rare occasion I go for a wide empire.

Generally, flood plains are my favorite start, because of desert folklore, and Petra. You can get some insane production out of your hills with religious community (15% prod bonus), and Petra.

Edit: I never reroll. You can't do that in multi-player games so it is good for practice in single player games.

True, but I was thinking of the desert hills which get an extra hammer, which means 5 production for each mine, once you discover chemistry.
