Of the Mike ones, I have to say Hobgoblins or Space Mutiny.
I've always thought that the two hosts were way too different in their styles to be compared fairly. They each have a different relationship and a different wit. Joel created the bots, he's their dad. They look up to him and respect him, and he's got a very droll wit. The bots constantly pick on Mike and don't really respect him, so it opens up a whole new aspect to the dynamic. He's also more sarcastic in his wit. It just depends on your tastes.

Agreed.
Favorite Joel - draw between Warrior of the Lost World ("This isn't Mad Max, it's Sad Max.") and Hercules Against The Moon Men.
Favorite Mike - probably Alien From LA.
I'll probably get flamed for saying this, but I didn't really like the Sci-Fi Channel era of MST3K. Pearl, Brain Guy and Bobo just weren't as engaging as Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank. Not to me anyway.
