Huge selection of mechs, wide variety of missions, and battles that actually felt epic.
Also, they let you drive a hover tank. Nothing is better than ramming a Firemoth in a hover tank.

Although it is not a MechWARRIOR game, I feel a need to mention MechCommander. MechCommander Gold was may favorite BT game.

Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries (I really love the end-of-succession-wars/begining-of-clan-invasion era)
Best combat system:
Mechwarrior 3 (surpassed now by MWO)
I must give some credits to Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries for the Solaris games and Mechwarrior 2 for the movies and epic feel.
I would trade my car for an AAA remake of MW2: Mercs by PGI.

So my vote is 3's gameplay+2's soundtrack+4's mechlab.

After the patches it was really hard and still fun to play.

Perfect graphics, the mercenary gameplay, very good story and unforgettable moments, the biggest amount of vehicles in MW game ever and 3049 centric (not Clans all the time) era.
Followed by MW4, but that's only because it's what got me into Mechwarrior and I was looking at the Mercs trailer as a little kid... yeah, even pretending to be that super cool, dakka dakka mech and crocodile looking one (Masakari and Daishi, if my memory serves right).

The first MW was just too simple, spamming Missiles could get you through every mission.
MW4 was too much point&click and bigger = better. Hardpoint system was somewhat interesting though.

So, for Mechwarrior, its part 2, Mercenaries. Not because of it being the best/nicest/fluffiest, but it was the first I could play on my then pc without problems. The music, the sound, the graphics, it was awesome.
It confirmed that my interest in the Battletech universe was justified.

I loved how you could buy and salvage and build your team from scratch by hiring pilots. I loved the back story written in the ComStar terminal that let you know what was going on in the universe and gave subtle hints as to the Clan invasion.
I loved the mission where you steal a Kodiak!!
