I like to focus on whatever run is currently stuck in my head as awesome, I mean I have my favirites from the far past of course but for this thread I'll just say Brian Buccellato and Francis Manapul's run with Flash as well as John's run with Aquaman. On the Marvel side I'm liking Gillen's run on Young Avengers.

Jason Aaron's - Thor: God of Thunder and Wolverine
Grant Morrison's - JLA and New X-Men
Mark Waid's - Daredevil, JLA, The Flash and Fantastic Four
Seems to be a lot of new readers here. Also seems to be kind of weird talking about a run on a creator owned series if it has only got one writer. Maybe that's just me.
I don't see anything weird about it.
CBR counts them in their top 100 runs polls.

Maybe it is just me that see a run as a certain period of the books run and not the entire series.
There are so many amazing runs but imo nothing will ever come close to chris claremonts uncanny xmen run
Perez's Teen Titans
Bendis' Ultimate Spiderman
Chris Claremont's X-Men

I actually really liked the Onslaught Saga. Don't know the specific writers on it (pretty much everyone), but It made the minor offshoot X-Teams relevant to a major crossover event. The Non-X books didn't have stories nearly as strong, but X-Factor, X-Men, Uncanny X-Men and X-Force were a blast during that time. Probably the pinnacle X-Men lineup/setting for me. They've been going downhill ever since this.
Not sure if this event is viewed negatively by the ComicVine community, but I thought it was great fun. The Bishop origin closure was the best. He finally got what he was looking for ever since his first appearance.
Dixon's Green Arrow. http://www.comicsin5panels.blogspot.dk/2013/08/chuck-dixons-run-on-green-arrow-in-5.html
Busiek's Avengers.
Fabian Nicieza's New Warriors.
Andy Lanning's Nova.
Mark Waid's Hulk.

A creator owned book could never be a "run". It's a single self-contained story occupying its own universe (mostly) with one creator who is also its writer and has a definitive end. Creator owned books are personal stand alone stories more like novels in their format than the usual superhero stuff, which continues indefinitely (The "intellectual property" is being milked) and his banded around to various other writers for them to tell their own stories. Hence the word "run".
It only has significance once you're milking a character for money.
Geoff Johns' Green Lantern
Alan Moore's Swamp Thing
Scott Snyder's Swamp Thing
Jeff Lemire's Animal Man

Basically this however a writer can make a good story with a company owned character.
