2002 was the best that I remember. The epic battle between Plush and Yags in their primes, and then Tim Goebel landing 3 quads in the LP (IIRC). Plus Elvis Stojko's last competitive performance. Abt was good too.
2002 would be closely followed by 2010 and then 1998 for me. 2010 wasn't as good as 2002 because Evan lacked a quad and it wasn't such a showdown between him and Plush because they both skated programs focusing on totally different things (Evan - maximizing points, Plush - jumps, basically, more of a 6.0 style). 1998 was marred a bit by the injury of Elvis Stojko, causing him to not do his quad and to have to walk to the podium instead of skate. So heartbreaking. Plus, Candeloro is my least favourite skater ever.
I was two in '88 so I don't remember it in real time, but I did enjoy the performances of both Brians on youtube.
