Warner is probably my favorite studio when it comes to DVDs. Their releases are consistently reference-quality, and as Patrick says, their re-releases offer genuine improvements over the original disc. The Good Fellas remaster is gorgeous. One of those DVDs that makes my DLP projector look like it's projecting film.
Personally my favorite studio in terms of DVD is Fox. There releases almost always seem reference quality too but they appear to have better extras then Warner usually gives. Though in the early days of DVD Warner was best since they support anamorphic transfers from the beginning while some backwards studios went without anamorphic encoding.
