The best technically to me was Barugon. The most enjoyable that I wouldn't be a bit embarassed to represent the genre is gyaos (barugon is not embarassing, just not as fun, guiron is very fun, just embarrassing at times, though not super monster gamera, which gets points for hotties and a Godzilla poster cameo but overall was just a bad film). So I voted Barugon but could have easily voted Gyaos, though I like them for different reasons. Can't remember which I saw first on tv, probably parts of Barugon. I know I was familiar with them as a toddler from tv but owned none, unlike godzilla which I had already amassed a large collection of, so my memory is a bit murky on that. The original isn't a bad film though and I liked the antlantis backstory (which people seem to forget was first suggested in the showa series)
