I voted the Korvac saga, but it and the Bride of Ultron story-line were the 2 stories that cemented Avengers as my favorite book as a kid. That whole period from about 150-177 (along with Avengers Annual 7/Marvel-Two-in-One Annual 2 which came out in that period) is still my favorite era of Avengers.

I voted the Korvac Saga, couldn't vote for Avengers x X-Men, I absolutely hated Avengers Forever.
I am a Marvel fan preferably cosmic storylines, especially Thanos or Dark Phoenix related, when both the Avengers and the X-Men are involved count me in, loved the original Uncanny Avengers series.
Not a fan of any of the new characters.
(Marvel/DC fan for 44+ years)
Totally agree with everything you said. I'm also hoping Genis-Vell will return soon.

The first i ever bought was Avengers #1 by Busiek/Perez. Luckily my dad was a huge Avengers fan an owned every previous issue and series so i never had to buy one until he passed away. So my collection is every single issue and no matter what i will keep the collection going for my son to one day takeover. My favorite Avengers are Monica Rambeau, Black Panther, Hawkeye and Wonder Man... In that order.
Storyline wise my faves are Under Siege, Ultron Unlimited, Avengers Forever, Kang Dynasty, Kree/Skrull War and the Korvac Saga.
The first I ever bought off the stands was #144, but has #124 as a hand me down as a hand-me-down from a neighbor. I had also purchased copies of Marvel Triple Action which reprinted early Avengers issues, and #23 (reprinting Avengers #29) was the first Avengers story I ever read, and also got issue #19 (reprinting Avengers vs. Doom form Avengers #25) as part of that hand me down lot from my neighbor. I got Son of Origins for Christmas a year or so after that and got to read Avengers #1 for the first time in that. When I discovered comic shops in high school, Avengers was the first series I collected.
I have a large chunk of the first series in trade now, but I had every issue of the 1st series except #1 and #4 that I had started collecting in high school (circa 1985), but sold off my entire Marvel Silver Age collection (Avengers and other books) between 2001 and 2003 when I moved halfway across the country (it paid for the move, my wedding, and paid off a few student loans/credit cards). I also currently have Marvel Unlimited, so can read stuff from just about any era I choose to now.
My favorite storylines-
Avengers Annual 7/Marvel Two-in-one Annual 2-The Death of Thanos
Bride of Ultron
Korvac Saga
Celestial Madonna/Kang storyline
Nefaria trilogy
Ultron Unlimited
Busiek's Kang storyline
Avengers Annual 9 (follow up to Iron Man 114?)
The Kooky Quartet era
intro & origin of the Vision/Ultron storyline
favorite characters-
as a kid, Vision was my favorite Avenger
as to current faves, my top 10 Avengers from any era (faves as Avengers, not necessarily as characters per se)
Black Panther (T'Challa)
Captain America (Steve)
Hawkeye (Clint)
Ms/Captain Marvel (Carol)
Beast (Hank McCoy)
Vision
Scarlet Witch (Wanda)
Thor (Odinson)
Iron Man (Tony)
Wasp (Janet)
and honorable mention to Jarvis

I really wanted to vote for Kang Dynasty, but Avengers Forever will do as well.
What can I say?
I like Busiek and Songbird.
