Does it state anywhere in the manga/anime that Conan/Shinichi is Kaitou KID's favourite critic/detective? Or is it just a fandom thing?

Perhaps its just an accumulated assumption? Shinichi is the only one he calls "Meitantei". And there are some affections towards both Hakuba and Conan in ep 219. But I don't remember anything specific unfortunately, been a while since I watched.

I think it's a fandom thing, can't really recall a scene where this is stated. At most I remember on the Magic Kaito 1412 version of the Midair walk, at the ending, one of Toichi's recorded explanations saying something like 'if you do your magic right, your hardest critiques will become your biggest fans', and thus, making Conan being the hardest so far. But I watch it with subs so perhaps there are variations on this ??

Well, the closest to favoritism anything that I personally remember is that KID calls both Hakuba and Conan "two lovers you never want to meet", but then again, that's in regarads to both of them. I really do think it's fanon, though, because KID doesn't like detectives (critics) in general, so it's really unlikely he'd adopt a "favorite" one.
Also, on that note- when does he call Shinichi 'meitantei'? It's on DCW so I know it's canon, but is it just movie canon? Because IIRC KID doesn't know that Conan is Shinichi in manga/anime canon and so he really should never have met Shinichi personally (save for the clocktower heist but that's the source of all sorts of continuity errors).

TinyTantei I really don't remember this "two lovers you never want to meet" sentence ! Again, maybe because some sub variations, with DC I often see quite diferent translations for some reason. Do you remember in which episode/chapter he says it?

It was the Gathering of the Detectives I believe? The anime had it as a 2-hour special alongside the clocktower heist, but it's in volume 30 of the manga. The only reason I remember the quote is because a lot of people like to use it for shipping reasons.

TinyTantei can't check right now, but if I'm recalling this correctly Kid calls Conan "meitantei" during the teleportation heist (the part where he's explaining Thurston's three principles) – don't see how this contradicts him not knowing who Conan is in the main canon though, since Conan himself definitely qualifies as a pretty well-known detective by this point, especially with regards to Kid himself. afaik anything Conan/Shinichi being Kid's favourite detective is purely fanon though. - EDIT: to add, Kaito also calls Conan "meitantei" after the mid-air walk heist (after he detaches Conan's sidecar from Jirokichi's bike) – at least in the MK1412 anime version, haven't checked the original DC manga and anime scene.

Cool! Thanks guys!!!!For the help! i'm leaning more towards him knowing about conan/shinichi...just looking for how they interact. hahaha. and since there're things in the anime/movies that eventually gets adopted in the manga as well -> takagi wataru & conan's zoom glasses respectively

Hmm, that's debatable though, since KID slipped out quite abit of his disguise for this one.
Also brings the question by Shinichi said "the Professor doesn't call me Conan-kun when nobody is around."
I know it could go both ways, but it can be taken letting KID know that the professor calls him by his true name when nobody is around. Especially since Conan does not need say this part to explain why KID's disguise failed with the other blunders that KID made

I'd actually argue that Kid has a strong, if not accurate, idea of who Shinichi really is. At the least, he does not treat "Conan" like a child, and I doubt that is just because he knows Conan can be a threat.
