Well, it's Sandman for me but those are some mighty fine comics up there (well, what I've read anyway). There are tons more options as well from Bendis' Powers to Vaughan's Y The Last Man to Willingham's Fables and Smith's Bone. Not to mention an up and comer like Scalped.

some really amazing runs there. I have to say I'm a big fan of Sandman and the first 50 issues of Shade. Preacher was very good but I think it lost it's way in the middle of the run. Y the Last Man is excellent and Fables is currently one of my favourite series. Swamp Thing set a standard of excellence that really set the stage for what followed.
But I'd vote for Starman if it were on the list.
Others that should be included would be Morrison's Doom Patrol and Invisibles, Ostrander & Mandrake's Spectre and Ostrander's Suicide Squad.

I'd vote for Hitman by Garth Ennis if it were an option. My second choice would be Starman by James Robinson.

Shade went right down hill after issue 50 (with the exception of the excellent last three issues), but issues 1-50 are excellent.

Books of Magic was another great series, at least for the first 30-some issues. I didn't think it would be my kind of comic, but the writing really hooked me right away.

Fables blows anything on that list out of the water.

What about Busiek's Astro City? Isn't he the only writer who's ever worked on it?

THE INVISIBLES, without a doubt. It's the kind of book I was born to read.

It's sad how little love there is for Swamp Thing - which is way better than Sandman
