I arrived too late for the 70's models that seem to be the board favorites - to this day, I don't think I've seen a copy of either Superman/Spider-Man or Batman/Hulk, much less read them. My first real crossover would be the X-Men/Teen Titans, which I definitely have more than fond memories of, but as a) I didn't read Titans, and b) it relied a lot on the Dark Phoenix storyline for whatever resonance it had and even THAT had happened about a year before I started reading comics.
So it's not exactly by default that JLA/Avengers is my favorite - both Captain America/Batman and Galactus/Darkseid are great, of course - but Perez's artwork was stunning (pretty much a career best, IMHO) and Busiek's story was a nice bit of seemingly bottomless fan service that still had something to say and nailed the characterizations. A near apotheosis of 80's comics, albeit 15 years later.
