Personally I've really enjoyed Fate. I find that the system rewards the kind of playstyle I like from PC's when I GM, and it gives people power, while making sure that they will pay dearly for failure.

That said, I did a straight homebrew once and it was the greatest game I've ever ran, deep sea, deep horror, basically Sphere but with big spooky mythological elements.

I love FATE. It's a very smooth, easily modifiable system that rewards in-genre play.

Have you tried Diaspora? It's my favorite implementation. "Hard" sci-fi, with multiple interesting subsystems like social combat.
