Had to vote for the 90's simply because of TAS and AoA and the fact that that's when I got into comics and the 90's X-Men line ups are the most classic to me since that's the only decade when all the big names were present at once under the same roof.
Now that I think about it 00's might've been slightly better since we got 2 x-cartoons and we had all off these: Astonishing (Whedon), XFactor (David), Academy X/New X-Men (KY), Exiles (Before Claremont), X-Force (KY) and Messiah Trilogy wasn't awful, in fact it was pretty good over all. But I already voted so too late to change that.
Not at all surprised that this decade struggles to beat even the 60's (which only had new X-Men stories for about half of it) or 70's (also only had new x-stories for half of the decade) since only really memorable story from this decade has been UXF (Remender) and even that fizzled out at the end due to Marvel wanting him off the x-books and to the Avengers books which ended so well for everyone!
I'm a bit curious about what happened to all 90's fans. It seems like nowadays EVERYONE agrees that comics sucked back then but in those days they sold like nothing else. I know that speculators inflated the numbers but all those sales couldn't have come from them alone, there had to be comics fans. So where are all the fans of those ridiculous EXTREME anti-heroes with steroid muscles, BFGs and pouches who loved the beefcake and cheesecake of the 90's pin up issues and trading cards? Did they all just give up comics or is it just that many of them are afraid to admit that they loved those back then?
