Favorite Iteration of TMNT, All-Time?

I just can't choose. The Mirage Comics are awesome, the Original Cartoon is hilarious, the old movies are awesome, and..... Do I need to go on?

Obviously, bro. We're all TMNT heads here. I love many incarnations, if I had to rank them:

1) 1990 Movie
2) Eastman / Laird Mirage
3) Fred Wolf OT
4) 2012 Nick Toon
5) 2007 Movie
6) 2k3 Toon
7) Next Mutation

I don't include extensions to root iterations. Like Archie being a marketing branch off of the OT. Or Image continuing what Mirage started. Or the weak film sequels to the original movie.

The point of the topic is as a turtle fan, gun to your head you can only pick one iteration as your true favorite ... what one would it be? At the end of the day, if you cut off all the fat, you have to have some semblance of a favorite version of the mythos.

What do you consider IDW then? It's a reboot of the comics so its not a continuation of Mirage like Image was, nor is it based on the cartoons like Archie was.

Or did you not read IDW yet?
