I'm going to have to stop you there! Assault On Precinct 13 and The Thing compete for being his best directed films, I would say. As for me, I prefer The Fog to Halloween. But the influence of Halloween cannot be overlooked. It's style, pacing, scoring and atmosphere are excellent examples of the genre.

The Thing, Assualt on Precinct 13 and The Fog are among some of my favourite films, I like pretty much like all of his stuff until after Prince Of Darkness and am not some so keen on his newer stuff, I think the directing was great in all three of them and in some of his other films, I just think his work on Halloween was something special, especially when he was directing The Shape.
