Started with the ol' Red Box w/ Elmore art. Got the blue, green, black, and gold not long afterward. Picked up a lot of 1st ed. AD&D books maybe a year before the release of 2nd ed.
Got 2nd ed. AD&D & played a lot of it. Still played some basis D&D from time to time. After 3.X, pretty much switched over to it entirely.
Of the "numbered" editions (1st/2nd/3rd), I especially liked versions of the game that were very malleable: Skills & Powers for 2nd ed., or the generic classes of 3.5's UA.
OTOH, I'm still interested in Basic D&D for the relative simplicity of it--where "elf" and "dwarf" are character classes, a sword is just a "sword," and you're either Lawful, Neutral, or Chaotic. Has a strong feel of its own that still has a soft spot in my heart.

I think I started with the Basic D&D:

I started with the Red Box.
A similar poll was run some time ago, and it also asked what edition of the game you like the most. I think it was sparked from the hypothesis that 1E was better than 2E and people who played 1E were more likely to shun 3E. IIRC, it turned out that there isn't much correlation at all.

I say other because we used Advanced Dungeons and Dragons with basic with role aids. We had a very strange mix of things going on that didn't belong wholy to one game system.
