The best to me is Mirage. Not only the playability, but was one of the last sets that had really good artwork, all the way around the board.

Urza's it is for me. It was a close one, since onslaught fetch is the best thing since sliced bread, but overall it's just impossibly to ignore, urza's block has meant a lot for me and my deckbuilding skills.

Oh, wow! I just noticed! I forgot kamigawa!
However, that is not such a large loss.

That's really common.
Rath would be my second pick too.

Best block for me was Invasion, Planeshift, Apocalypse
Best "set" for me was Tempest
To me, there's a difference in the question...

My fondness will always belong to the Rath Cycle. Unforgettable to me, and actually, in some aspects, quiet defined modern Magic, and revolutionized it.
But, the last set that I've ever played (over MTGO) that I was a total "WOW" factor, and still has that effect to an extent, is Time Spiral.
Ravnica was fun on the "outset." But as soon as you play it and notice how caged the concept is, it grows boring very fast. Sure, a lot of awesome cards and great ideas. But it was too reinforced and enclosed with its color divisions. It didn't feel natural. Did not have a flow. And every time you played a deck with a lot of Ravnica card, it just couldn't be escaped that it felt like you're playing the same deck...
Yes, it's one of the most successful Magic sets ever, if not the most successful one in the game's history - but that's a financial success. Based on what? The array of interesting individual cards that existed. The allure of the concept. It was the one set that, upon release, I spent $300 for MTGO cards and boosters.
Few weeks later, I realized how boring the set was.

Still is and always will be Urza's... Just can't beat that Sneak Attack, and all the wonderful critters that go with it...
I must say - lately I am fond of Time Spiral and Ravnica - but more so for the way they complement my utility decks... And Planar Chaos - that is one awesome set...
All Black needed was a wrath... and green a all lightning... I could go on...
