I've got a few eccentricities myself.
For one, my favorite area to strike the earth is in a recess on the cliff face with a small hill directly in front of it, making a sort of C shaped area. I'll wall the exposed sides up and remove the ramps within. And the hill gets turned into the main barracks, spanning its z-levels and ending in a tower (if I make it that far.)
Also, if I'm ever digging out a large area to eventually fill with water, I like to put some interesting feature in there, usually a statue. Just for kicks.
My fortresses seem usually to start off as a 2 or 3 tile wide hallway leading into a large room before branching off. That room usually ends up being a dining room, which is invariably oval-shaped and with four pillars (not actual pillars, just unmined stone that I can have engraved later.)
