Best "Crisis" Ever?

Since Final Crisis is almost over, I was just wondering what people thought of some of the other DC "Crisis" events. I count:

Crisis On Infinite Earths
Zero Hour: Crisis In Time
Infinite Crisis
Final Crisis

Some may argue Zero Hour doesn't count, but I say it does b/c as I recall it was one of the first times since '86 that the first Crisis was mentioned in continuity. Plus its point was to "clean up" the mistakes the first Crisis left.

I say Infinite Crisis was the best. Crisis On Infinite Earths was definitely the most epic, but IC was, IMO the easiest to understand for casual readers, and it had a lot of repercussions that didn't just get "fixed" a month later.

As for Final Crisis, it's too soon to tell I think, but I bet it won't age well since it isn't a complete story without all the tie-ins.
