Richard Jobson is the best loanee I can remember here (discounting players who ended up signing for us). Dervitte and Federici were class acts as well.
I liked Lee Hodges a lot but I wonder if that was partly down to how nice it was to see a flair player like him in that Southend team. In a better team I'm not sure that Hodges would have stood out.
Freddy Eastwood.

Dorian Dervitte - class defender, and made Peter Clarke look good by association
Adam Federici - always thought he was a class above us, and will look forward to seeing him in the EPL next season
Charlie Mulgrew - sweet left foot, and will look forward to seeing him in the Champions League qualifiers next season (before Celtic get knocked out by some random team from Eastern Europe)

Dorian Dervite, Theo Robinson and Charlie Mulgrew for me, I also find it hard to look at Freddy as anything other than "ours".
Alan McCormack had 2 loan spells for us before signing permanently , was a cracking player at the time.

Wasn't Collymore a loan initially?
EDIT - and here comes YB to confirm that! Great timing.
Our best ever loanee is surely Stan. Thankfully he became permanently ours shortly afterwards.
On a different note, what might be interesting is an XI of loanees who looked awesome until they signed permanently.
