For me, it's Gintama. It's iconic, easily identifiable, and makes sense on a musical level. On the last point, I'm not knowledgeable on the theory, but the Gintama soundtrack, in general, is enjoyable to listen too. If I have to pick one favorite song there, it's Katsura's theme.

Hard to pick a "best". Both Fullmetal Alchemist soundtracks were pretty good. I also really liked the .hack//sign soundtrack even though the show itself was boring af. Dan Da Dan and Gurren Lagann both had some inspired choices (fight the power!).

The Legend of the Galactic Heroes OVA is an obvious contender; it uses exclusively classical music for its soundtrack and it works really well. I can't hear Dvorak's 9th Symphony 4th Movement without thinking of people dying in space now.
