My preferences regarding the D&D series of game systems, in order from most favored to least favored. If a system isn't listed, I'm not really considering playing it at all.
Pathfinder 1st Edition
AD&D 3.5
AD&D 3.0
AD&D 1.0
Basic D&D (1980s)
AD&D 4.0
AD&D 2.0
Chainmail/pre-1980s D&D
Pathfinder 2nd Edition
My friends and I tend to favor lots of options, skills, details, etc.. These shouldn't be rigid rules, but ideas that the DM/GM can use. AD&D 1st was particular fun for that reason. There were a lot of things that weren't scripted, and you could go almost anywhere with them.
Related game systems from TSR/Wizards that I have enjoyed:
Boot Hill (1st)
Gamma World (1st/2nd), although Starfinder is okay
Top Secret (1st-2nd)
Gang Busters
Dawn Patrol (1st)
Marvel Super Heroes was okay, but I thought it had major drawbacks compared to V&V and Champions
I never played Indiana Jones or Bullwinkle & Rocky.
