I picked Miller's Daredevil. I think an argument could have been made to include Simonson's Thor in that poll.
Frank Miller’s Daredevil
Chris Claremont’s X-Men
Kurt Busiek’s Avengers
Mark Gruenwald’s Captain America
Peter David’s Hulk

Matt Murdock's cooler twin brother
I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!

Interested in reading Daredevil? Not sure what to read next? Why not check out the Daredevil Book Club for some ideas?
I haven't read PAD's Hulk so I'm going to go with Miller's DD. It was a game changer for the character, but just as important it broke a lot of ground for the superhero genre and comics in general.
The OP poll is very incomplete.
I'd add the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby Fantastic Four and their Journey into Mystery Thor
Stan Lee/Steve Ditko Spider-Man
I can only judge what I read… so Claremont’s X-men. Second: Roy Thomas’ Conan.
Third: Jim Starlin’s work on Adam Warlock.

Miller's Daredevil. What a run. Very few I'd rank above it.
Now,my fav ALL time run is Jim Starlin's Adam/Thanos-----> Infinity War
Honorable mention Thor/Eternals----->300
Even Though Roger Stern's is my favorite Avengers run, I'm still an Avengers man, so I voted for Busiek's Avengers. I love PAD's Hulk, but I'm not a Hulk fan, and I think, other than the Spectacular The Captain storyline, Waid's Captain America was much better, though shorter, than Gru's. Clarfemont's X-Men had it's ups and downs. Never dug much Daredevil, Miller or not.
Other run's that should have been up for vote:
Michelinie and Layton's Iron Man
Simonson's Thor
Byrne's Fantastic Four
Stern and Frenz's Spider-Ma n (though there are plenty of classic runs to pick with Spidey)
PAD's X-Factor
Just to name a few (I'm not gonna touch the Lee/Kirby/Thomas/Buscema/Ditko, etc... material)
Peace
It’s a toss up between Gruenwald’s Captain America run, and Busiek’s Avengers run. In the end, I voted out of nostalgia. The first comic I ever read was Captain America #402. Which was the first issue of the Man and Wolf arc, written, of course, by Gruenwald, which started my love of comics.
I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.
