Mine is the final series of The 3rd Doctor, closely followed by the very similar one for the 4th Doctor's intro. Third spot would be the one used now. Amazing in that the old one can still be considered great & no computers were used -brilliant.
Speaking of computer generated starts & now thinking what's the worst -well that's easy -the intro to the 7th Doctor -cheap, tacky & cheesy (even if it was the latest technology around at the time), perfectly apt for the 7th Doctor's reign though.

but yeah for me early Tom Baker nailed it
The Neon Logo in the eighties was another big change.
McCoy's version was longer - but too cartoony for my liking. The music didn't help either!
The 2005 re-boot was excellent - but my favourite was the added drumbeats and other bits from The Christmas Invasion from thereon!!
2010 - Present isn't a patch on any of those! Sounds more amateur to me

You mean you don't know the lyrics? I'll help you out:
Trav'lin through space
Here he comes
Look out you guys
There he is now
He is a guy
From a far place
He changes sometimes
E.g. his face
He's Who. Doctor Whooooo. Doc-doc-doc-Doctor Who.
(EDIT: as to the original question? Right now I like Colin Baker's final sequence. Tom's main one is also a classic. And I still wish that bit at the end of The Time Meddler were an official title sequence)
Probably due to the three subsequent childhood Christmases when I got Planet of the Spiders, The Time Warrior and Death To The Daleks on videotape, it just never fails to give me an impossibly warm nostalic feeling of the pure joy of childhood whenever I see it.
And since that feeling is exactly what Who is about, it just has to be that one.
