This seems like a cliché answer, but my favorite overall is The Measure of a Man. Granted, there is a lot I haven’t seen (only pieces of DS9 and Voy, and none of the new stuff other than Lower Decks).
I just really like how it raises one specific issue without trying to skirt around it while dealing with it directly.

I don’t think that’s cliche at all. It’s an amazing episode and a great example of how science fiction is a mirror on humanity.
DATA IS NOT PROPERTY
He is a fully living sentient being. Full stop.
Why couldn’t they leave Data alone? He just wanted to feel!
That episode has aged like the finest of wines, it’s only gotten more prescient.
