Qui préfères-tu? Qui aimes-tu le plus?


Explanation:
Si j'en crois vos explications (brèves, il faut dire), il s'agit de la personne pour laquelle on a un petit «kick», qui nous attire davantage... dans un groupe.

Qui fait battre ton coeur?


Explanation:
More poetic than above. Your choice may depend on the translation you want to make:
It is a question in order to record a situation, then choose the direct question 'De qui es-tu amoureux(or euse if female)?'
If the question is asked by a friend who cares about this person, I would suppose that this friend would be less brutal in asking: In such case, my proposed answer may be better.
