I think for most of us it's the stations where we lived for the most part.
Mine are WKBW in the '60's WGR in the '70's
WQAM and WFUN in the '60's both stations did surf reports and were into the "fun in the sun" thing that really sold South Florida.
These stations had unique personalities in all dayparts who were allowed to CREATE.

Forgot one that definitely should have been on my list (which I limited to stations I personally was able to experience).
That would be KPOI in Honolulu during the mid-60s. The "core" of which went on to bigger and better things....most notably at KFRC. (I spent my junior year of high school in Honolulu...and lived about three blocks from KPOI).

I grew up in Pittsburgh, but I don't think of anything there as a "best station ever". KQV and KDKA seemed flat when I went to other cities. My vote goes to:
WMCA for fantastic jocks in all slots and sounding truly Noo Yawk.
KHJ and KRLA for the same stuff another poster liked about WQAM and WFUN
WLAC for John R. and the blues. Truly fantastic with a good signal way back when.
WCKY with Wayne Rainey
CKLW for just everything
WCFL for great jocks and a killer top of the hour ID that gave my heart goosebumps.
WMID and WOND for just comong out of radios on THE Boardwalk.
WSM on Saturday night.
WWVA for classic country before it was classic and Mac Wiseman

Growing up, it was KISN on 97.1 in the mid 1980s-late 1990s, as well as its sister KKSN on 910 (later 1520, in QAM stereo even.) Until about early 2008, it was the Golden Hours RRS on OPB and the "Environmental" and "Forground Music One" satellite programmes on Muzak, although those three are not technically "radio stations" in the generally accepted sense.
As it stands right now, I can't think of one in my native corner of the Cascade Range that fits, because they are pretty much all bland, lifeless jukeboxes now.
But, considering the way the weather in northeastern Oregon been as of late, my Best Radio Station Ever would have to be the simulcast of NOAA's WNG708 on 1610!
