I tend to hit most of my HR off of Curveballs and high Changeups. Sliders are 3rd. Fastballs generally end up as routine flyballs, or my line drive/gap hits...I rarely hit a HR off of a fastball.

Re: Which Pitch is the best/easiest to hit a HR off of?
I voted for change up. The ones that hang high in the strike zone.

Re: Which Pitch is the best/easiest to hit a HR off of?
I love playing against pitchers where their best pitch is a curveball. I know it will hang a lot of curve balls high in the zone and Juan Gonzalez, AROD, and Kevin Mench feast on those pitches.
Something that's odd is I'm 18 games in to my season (I've played them all, only have a 2 game lead) and Kevin Mench leads the AL with 7 HR's. That's odd."Never trust a big butt and a smile."-Ricky Bell

I am similar, although I don't like going up against Mulder or Zito, because their Curveball goes from your eyes to your ankles! If I can stick it out until the 5th or 6th though, they become much more hittable.
I personally voted for Changeup, but I think Changeup and Curveball are tied for me...too bad I can't vote for both...Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae.
