I've said before that Ghidrah is pretty much the quintessential Godzilla film that in one movie features just about EVERYTHING, good and bad, you think of when you think of Godzilla: Godzilla as hero, Godzilla as villain, city destruction, kaiju battles, aliens, great miniatures, some bad/hokey effects, warmth, charm, unintentional hilarity...
HOWEVER, Mothra vs. Godzilla has my all-time favorite depiction of Godzilla, moments of stunning beauty (and contrasting that beauty with very ugly moments), is better made (let's be honest, Ghidrah is a TON of fun, and is all the good things I said about it, but it's also terribly rushed and it shows) and works on just about every possible level for me.
Mothra vs. Godzilla gets my vote.
