Is there a symbol for order?

…the exponent, e_i , is called the order of p_i in a, denoted ord_{p_i} (a) = e_i .

From your comment it became clear that you were looking for the order operator.

In case somebody finds this question but is looking for the order (of magnitude):

\documentclass{article}
\DeclareRobustCommand{\orderof}{\ensuremath{\mathcal{O}}}
\begin{document}
$\orderof\left( 1234\right) =10^{3}$
\end{document}

It's always difficult to answer questions for "the best" or "most popular". As is mentioned, these are typically opinions. But you did say that your objection was the fact that the "T" symbol was too big. Therefore, I would recommend the \intercal symbol to produce a "T" which isn't so big. Also, writing the vectors and matrices in bold seems, in my opinion, to make it look a little better. Try the following code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts,amssymb}
\begin{document}
$\mathbf{A}^\intercal$\\
$\mathbf{c}^\intercal \mathbf{x}$\\
$c^T x$\\
$\mathbf{M}^\top$
\end{document}
