Favourite X-Overs/ Story Arcs?

Name your favourite / least favourite story arc / run.

Fav: Dark Phoenix Saga - Ive always had a soft spot for this story line. To me, it will always be a classic. The last lines between Cyclops and Phoenix always gets me. Id only wish they remade this whole scene in a decent X-Men movie, without the whole Alien Shiar part because that woujld confuse the living hell out of non-comic readers.

Borderline: X-Statix - I love to hate Orphan, and I hate that I love Orphan. Mediocre story lines with interesting twists. Art acceptable.

Least Fav: Inferno - Too confusing, with too many unnecessary concepts, with Magik going berserk, X-terminators, Demons and Mr. Sinister and somehow linking it to the Phoenix Force, and (in my opinion) corny ending with Cyclops "overcoming his mystical unknown fear of Mr. Sinister"

Gots to agree that Inferno is just... crap. It's so needlessly confusing, dumb and ponderously complicated. Kinda the first major flop of Claremont's X-work... it was like he had all these plots (Sinister, Maddie) and he had ends for them all, but instead of telling them all individually, he smooched them all together and it just didn't work.
