For me, it's Video Pinball.

I love those bumper buttons on either side, so it feels like a real machine.

A little off topic, but did you ever play the super Pong that had the game where you hit the ball at the wall til you went insane? lol what were they thinking on that one

I've been playing Ultra Pong, and with 4 players it's the most!!!
Love the games, the colors and the action! (and there's NO RF INTERFERENCE AT ALL!)

I like quite a few of them:

Odyssey 500
Atari Super Pong Pro-Am Ten
Coleco Combat
APF TV Fun (same as every other pong game, but nice machine)
Coleco Telstar Alpha (for nostalgia's sake; it was my first pong system)

I still want to try out a Sears Speedway IV.

Generally, I like the Sears/Atari and Odyssey games the best, because they're different from all the other Pong-On-A-Chip machines...except the Odyssey 300, which gets a pass for looking awesome. Actually, I think Odyssey 2000 and 3000 were POAC, too...but for me, the 100-500 are the ones that count. :)
