     My Personal favorite Dragon Quest game would probably have to be V, followed by VIII. I really liked being able to recruit monsters (like in Dragon Quest Monsters) and have them fight with me.
     

     

    Here's some screenshots from each game if you can't remember what they are. I realize that they aren't in the right order (hard to do with images), and IX isn't localized yet, but I figured I'd include it since it is technically out: 
      
     Dragon Quest VIII
     
     Dragon Quest/Warrior VII
     
     Dragon Quest IX

     
     
     
     
     


     
     Dragon Quest IV
     
     Dragon Quest VI

     Dragon Quest V

     
     
     
     
     
     

     Dragon Quest/Warrior III

     Dragon Quest/Warrior

     Dragon Quest/Warrior II

    Dragon Quest VIII easily.  It's my favorite turn based RPG on PS2.

    Yea, it is pretty good. I'm only at
     

     
    I took a break from there, though, since that's my second most useful character and I needed to take a break from playing it.

    If Dragon Warrior Monsters counts, that one without question. As for the standard series: most likely III, followed closely by what I've played of VIII (which is roughly a measly 10 hours)

    @PureRok: That part of the game is tough.

    I've only played VIII. That one was great though. I've heard the rest are good as well.

    Dragon Warrior Monsters 1 and 2 are both excellent and need to be on here, but my personal favorite of the main series is DQIII.

    Well, I was mostly interested in which of the main series people liked the most.

    I haven't played that many, but of the ones I have I'd rank them DQ5 > DQ4 > DQ8.  Then there is Rocket Slime which doesn't really count, although it is a good game.  I'm looking forward to DQ9 and DQ6 in the next year or two.
