Mine would have to be from Blackwater Park. The ones that start at around 1:15 and straight after that. Maybe it's the heaviness, maybe it's the melody, i just love them!
Favourite opeth riff(s)

Every riff in white cluster
The Leper Affinity intro fiff
The funeral portrait main riff

The awesome middle section of Forest of October
In mist she was standing at around 2:50 or so
Opening riff to Nectar

All of Blackwater Park (the song).

Buildup in The Night and The Silent Water.
3:45 in In Mist She Was Standing.
Intro to Moonlapse Vertigo.
End bluesy riff to Credence.
All of Advent.
And a shitload from Black Rose Immortal which I can't really be bothered getting right now.

The fact that i've heard little from opeth apart from the Blackwater Park album probably has something to do with the emptiness of my list. I'm hearing more and more now, but i haven't listened to enough yet, no where near 
I don't want to list all I like, but two that I do enjoy in a special way are the similar "single guitar then both + band" ones in Serenity Painted Death and Black Rose Immortal. Too lazy to check times. Listen now to find them!
Edit: Ok, I realized that like every riff in BRI is like that. It's the one at.. 4:30 or something.

The first riff in Bleak
The main riff in Dirge For November
The first distorted riff in Face Of Melinda
The intro riff to April Ethereal
The riff at about 6min in The Moor
Most riffs in Blackwater Park

A-HAHAHA!
Even though every riff is fantastic, my favourite is from Advent, underneath the vocals "It was all true...". My second fav is the fast-paced ending to Karma.

Armed to the teeeettthhh!
I love the riff at 1:15 in The Funeral Portrait. Makes me wanna smash things. There are a ton of'em though.

I've got to name one rom each of the two best albums:
MAYH-
Karma-Second riff, one just beofre the "aaaahhhh". I love the guitar interplay, and the cool but evil melody, and most of all, the pculiar groove of the riff. It just rules! I had been hoping for more of this style of riffing on BWP, but to no avail....
Still Life-
Tie Between the second riff in Moonlapse Vertigo(just beautiful!) and the clean riff at 4:28 in Serenity Painted, the odd timing one. Again, a style of riffing I hoped to hear a lot on BWP.
