From that chart, I'm partial to the 3rd Colorado Cavalry "Bloodless Third," because who ever saw a dead cavalryman anyway?
And, of course, the 8th Michigan, the "Wandering Regiment." Hmm.
And the 104th Ohio — "The Barking Dog Regiment." Double Hmm.
The 5th New Hamphire was also the "Bloodless Fifth," but they were also the Shoemakers Regiment. Draw your own conclusions.
