It's highly subective depending on what you're looking for in a game. Different editions of D&D aim to do what are often wildly disparate things.
Hudson Morales
DnD 6th edition
Caleb Reyes
4E
Aaron Bailey
depends on the setting
Andrew Ross
In that case Pathfinder then.

I'd say that hands down, the best edition is Moldvay/Cook's Basic and Expert set, ie B/X.
No level bloat or thief skills stretched out to uselessness like BECMI, much clearer than OD&D, no overdesigned nonsense like AD&D, it's simple, clean, and focused. It knows exactly what it's about: desperate people going down into murderholes filled with terrifying beasts in order in hopes of striking it rich and dragging out lost treasures. It's about Dungeons, and it's about and Dragons. And it does it beautifully, better than any other edition.
