OK I haven't played all the FFs. I've only played FFI, II, VII, X, X-2 and TA. So far I liked VIII and X, too much, but I think FFVIII is the best. The characters are cool, and the battles are great. The Junction System might be a little complicated but it's alright. Also there are many GFs, and You really have to try hard to get some of them. FFVIII rocks!
