A top 5 merc list has some obvious ones. (In no particular order)
1. Gray Death Legion
2. Wolf's Dragoons
3. Northwind Highlanders
4. Kell Hounds
5. Eridani Light Horse

Davion
1. 1st Davison Assault Guards
2.
3.
4.
5.

Steiner

Kurita

Liao

Marik

FRR (They didn't last long so idk if its worth adding them)

That's easy: Wolf's Dragoons. They are the ones who officaly declared war on the entire Successor State.

Eridani Light horse should be there, they can't help being on a davion Contract.

Maybe Waco's Rangers or Cranston Snords Irregulars

you kinda need to split it up into mercs/house.

12th (or 10th?....) lyran guards as Victor Ian Steiner-Davions own guard should be on house units.

This is more for discussion. I'm not a super lore guy. I was just trying to give a template of sorts.

Famous really depends on you point of view. I would call the 3rd Division, the 15th Dieron, the 11th Arcturan Gurads, Langendorf Lanciers, the 41st Shadow Divsion remarkable - because they were units "My Home Unit" fought against.

Although I have found rest in the peace of another faction - after I read the word DISBANDED in FM3145, shortly after I bought a novel just because a Fafnir of this unit stood guard in the place that has the most prestige in the whole Lyran Commonwealth.

12th Donegal Guards - were Victors first command (even when not superior) placed near the periphery (Trellwan) without the Clans Hohiro Kurita would have attacked the Guards (or at least this is how Stackpole did invision it how the freud between their fathers would be succeeded by their sons)

10th Lyran Guards - The Elephants great unit - Kathrina Steiners command when she mad a hot dropped on Hesperus II to destroy the Marik units that were able to secure this critical world some time before.
Again great action on Dromini V lead by Fredric Steiner.
Unfortunately, this Davion Welp got his hand on this great unit and recalled them "Revenants" just one clue for the lack of matureness of his character. The unit became a Davion unit, although Victor Davion corrupted a ComStar Division later.

Wolf's Dragoons: Black widow company would be my guess.
