Here is my vote but so often the first episode is the one with the most impact which seems unfair on the others:

Supercar - Calling Charlie Queen
Fireball XL5 - Last of the Zanadus
Stingray – Tom Thumb Tempest
Thunderbirds - 1st episode: Trapped in the Sky (second choice: End of the Road)
Captain Scarlet – 1st episode: The Mysterons (second choice: Lunarville 7)
Joe 90 - The Unorthodox Shepherd
Secret Service - School For Spies
UFO - Timelash
Space 1999 (1) – The Infernal Machine
Space 1999 (2) – The Beta Cloud
Terrahawks - Cry UFO
New Captain Scarlet (1) – Rat Trap
New Captain Scarlet (2) – The Storm at the End of the World

I couldn't limit some choices to just one. :)

Fireball XL5 – Drama in Space City and Space City Special
Stingray – Raptures of the Deep and Stand By For Action
Thunderbirds – The Sun Probe & Move-And You’re Dead
Captain Scarlet – White as Snow, Special Assignment & Flight to Atlantica
Joe 90 – King for a Day and Viva Cordova
Secret Service – The Feathered Spies. Not just a good episode, you also get to see the Captain Ochre puppet more frequently than probably all the Captain Scarlet episodes he was featured in put together.
Terrahawks – Operation SAS. Quite apart from the storyline, this episode first featured my favourite Kate Kestrel song ‘I Won’t Let You Hold Me (Responsible)’ which I don’t think has been released on a CD.
