Five possible options:
-The Teen O5 in "All-New X-Men" (they're not quite the X-Men; they're the weird sub-team of teens that are out of place; and also includes X-23)
-The original New Mutants
-The New Mutants from the Kyle/Yost series (includes Blink and X-Man)
-Spider-Man's team of X-Kids from "Spider-Man and the X-Men"
-Storm's X-Force from Humphries' "Uncanny X-Force"

Government X-Factor. I bought every issue of that comic for years and enjoyed it a great deal.

[JustAnotherFan]

Would the last incarnation of the original/very first X-Force count as its own group?

It didn't have Cable (or Domino) in the group and was lead/trained by Pete Wisdom instead. They operated underground as a sort of black ops spy team so I would view them as being a bit different from the original X-Force that Cable established and who were more of a terrorist/activist strike team than a covert spy team. This team had Cannonball, Boom Boom, Warpath and Bedlam in it.


And what about all teams related to Weapon X program like:

- Team X (Wolverine, Sabretooth, Maverick, John Wraith, Silverfox, etc)

- Weapon X team ran by Weapon X program and featured some of the Weapon X operatives like Maverick/Agent Zero, Sabretooth, Marrow, etc.

Or teams named Weapon X:

- Timebroker's Weapon X that jumped realities. They became antagonists for Exiles later but originally they were established as a sort of "X-Force" for Exiles' "X-Men".

And speaking of reality hoppers, aside from Dazzler's X-Treme X-Men/X-Men (multiverse), which was listed already, for a while, there was another reality hopping team that was known as X-Force (multiverse). It was ran by an alternate Dazzler known as Captain Blaire. Do they count as separate team from X-Treme X-Men (multiverse) since they operated as a separate group until some of them died and the rest joined Dazzler's multiversal X-Men?

Pete Wisdom and Cannonball led X-Force were just as much a terrorist/activist strike team, if not moreso. Bombing hospital suppliers and everything.

-The New Mutants from the Kyle/Yost series (includes Blink and X-Man)

Wouldn't this fall under the New X-Men: Academy X team?

[Master of Sound]

No the Academy X kids were different. Taras means the last volume of the New Mutants where at one point 616 Blink and Nate Grey w er e on the team after Cannonball and Karma left (Utopia period)

[Innocent Bystander]

1. Original Excalibur (Shadowcat, Phoenix, Cap Britain, Meggan etc)
2. Original New Mutants (Cannonball, Mirage, Karma, Sunspot etc)
3. Government X-Factor (Val Cooper, Havok, Polaris, Quicksilver etc)
4. Exiles (Blink, Morph, Nocturne, Sunfire etc)
5. Original X-Factor (The O5 X-men)
6. Original Alpha Flight (Puck, Guardian, Sasquatch, Snowbird etc)
7. Generation X (Husk, Monet, Skin, Penance, Banshee etc)
8. Original Starjammers (Corsair, Raza, Ch'od, Hepzibah etc)
9. X-Factor Investigations (Madrox, Layla Miller, M, Rictor, Darwin etc)
10. New Mutants Squad (Wallflower, Winddancer, Prodigy etc)

[Jiraiya]

Would the Xternals count?

[NewMutant]

1) Original X-Force
2) X-Factor Investigations
3) Generation X
4) Original X-Treme X-Men (Not a Spin Off, it was the B-title during Morrison's run - like Astonishing or Amazing X-Men isn't a spin off)
5) Original New Mutants
7) Wolverine's X-Force (Better cast, less well written stories than UXF)
8) Uncanny X-Force (Really just a continuation of the series above)
9) New X-Men: Academy X (A continuation of New Mutants squad (And YXM of that)... the other squads didn't even have books to count - Where's Wolverine and the X-Men then?)
10) Cable's X-Force (Which I'm assuming the the combo of Cable and X-Force as well as Si' X-Force... which were basically one thing as well)

Honorable Mention:
Original Excalibur... I really only like Warren Ellis run but the cast became stronger after he added Wolfsbane, Colossus, and Wisdom.
Government X-Factor... which is PAD's run till the end of the title. PAD's run was great, the title drifted for a bit, and then adding Mystique really picked up the quality.

[Master of Sound]

How about...
Xavier's Underground Enforcers (Archer, Fixx, Greystone, Shard)

The're on the list as X.S.E.

Yeah, they do and arte now listed as Wisdom's X-Force.

And what about all teams related to Weapon X program like:

- Team X (Wolverine, Sabretooth, Maverick, John Wraith, Silverfox, etc)

- Weapon X team ran by Weapon X program and featured some of the Weapon X operatives like Maverick/Agent Zero, Sabretooth, Marrow, etc.

First one yes and listed, the 2nd was a villainteam and already participated as such in the last one.

[RLAAMJR.]

How about Loners? Hollow was there.

[Master of Sound]

4) Original X-Treme X-Men (Not a Spin Off, it was the B-title during Morrison's run - like Astonishing or Amazing X-Men isn't a spin off)

This team did split off from the X-Men and were at one point officially named XSE. So, they do count as a split off. The other titles were X-Men teambooks, it’s not about series, it’s about teams.

9) New X-Men: Academy X (A continuation of New Mutants squad (And YXM of that)... the other squads didn't even have books to count - Where's Wolverine and the X-Men then?)

It’s not about having a book, it’s about teams who were spin-offs from the X-Men.

[Master of Sound]

How about Loners? Hollow was there.

That's not really a spin-off team. They never did deal with the X-Men.

[Master of Sound]

The list seems quite complete now. So, let's get your favorite top 10 in.
