In descending order of likelihood;

Earth(almost certainly:) ),
Europa (liquid water probably), Mars (ditto), Titan (organic compounds galore), Venus (yes, Venus might have an upper- atmosphere ecology) Jupiter(also an atmosphere full of the primordial stuff of life), Saturn (ditto), Uranus, Neptune, Io (if such a thing as deep lithospheric lifeforms are common in our galaxy, Io is the place).

So we could possibly have a solar system full of lifebearing planets;
more likely is the scenario of one big biosphere (Earth) and one or two minor biospheres, possibly seeded from Earth.

1. Europa (under Ice)
2. Mars (underground and H2O Ice)
3. Venus (clouds)

In the name of Venusian Kingdom I strongly object by calling us a "upper- atmosphere ecology". That is both insulting and arrogant.
That is why I hereby declare war to the 3rd planet and all its inhabitants.

Our fleet has begun the flight!
