How can anyone not choose 1st edition, original D&D. Everything was new.. there was mystery and wonder around every corner.
Nothing against what has followed, some of it is very good, but it's re-inventing the wheel...

3.5- Variety of options in all aspects of game and character design.

For me, the answer is because I've never played it.
1Ed was what hooked me back in 1977, it is true. But 3.5Ed was, to me, an improvement that let me make fantasy characters I could not make in 1Ed...but could in other FRPGs.
Being first is important. But one cannot rest on laurels, lest you be passed by.

Because I'm under 40. Nothing against it or anything, but you're talking about something that was published a long time ago.

4e: Monster levels and monster math based on levels. I don't even use a monster manual anymore. I generally craft every monster by hand and every fight generally features at least two new monsters. In a typical dungeon I'll rotate around four or five core baddies and then add in specialists and oddballs as necessary. The math is what makes it possible. I love being able to crank out ten new and interesting monsters in an hour or so.

Hard to choose a single edition, as I'm somewhat torn over my favorite.
BECMI - Mentzer red book. All I really ever needed to play D&D right in that book.
1E - Gygax's timeless advice in the DMG
2E - The campaign worlds.
3E - the options; it seemed like you could make whatever you want and actually back it up with an effect.

D&D 3.5. It introduced me to the woman I would eventually marry.
