This might be a subjective question, but is there a single definitive Spider-man story?

There's no such thing as "a single definitive Spider-Man story" because if there were then that means Lee and Ditko failed and their creation never became famous and big and lasting.
Any serial superhero character that's lasting cannot be reduced to a single definitive story.
Favorite story and what I think is the best Spider-Man story is Kraven's Last Hunt by J. M. DeMatteis and Mike Zeck.IF NOT, what is your all-time favorite Spider-man story?
Favorite single issue is ASM#246 - "The Daydreamers".
My Top (3) Three Personal Favorites would be...
"The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man!"
(The Amazing Spider-Man #248)
"All My Pasts Remembered!"
(The Amazing Spider-Man #259)
"Venom!"
(The Amazing Spider-Man #300)

I don't think there is a single definitive Spider-Man story. My all-time favorite is The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man, though. There hasn't been a single time reading it when I haven't teared up. I think you also can't tell this story with any other superhero. There's something so personal about the way Spidey connects with Tim that I don't know if any other hero could have captured that in the same way. That's part of what I think makes it one of the best Spider-Man stories.
The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man is good and one of my faves but my all time favorite is definitely...
Kraven's Last Hunt
My two favourite Spider-Man stories (or story-arcs) of all time are:
- "Turning Point" / "The Night Gwen Stacy Died" (The Amazing Spider-Man Vol.1 121 - June 1973) - You all know it. Norman Osborn goes crazy and kills Gwen Stacy in order to destroy Peter Parker's life.
- "Darkness Calling" / "Trick of the Light") (The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 2 25 / Peter Parker Spider-Man 25 - January 2001) - Norman Osborn returns and tries to convince Peter to join the dark side, using creepy methods.
Fun Fact: 2 of these stories have an almost identical cover, featuring Spider-Man from the back and his best friends and enemies' faces on the background.
