Serenity is the best, mainly because it's rewatchable. Duos are usually better than solo commentaries and Nathan and Joss have a real rapor on tape. Out Of Gas and Objects In Space have some nice detail too though. The Message and Shindig ones are a little throwaway though.
"but who's seen my all time fave, the commentary on Wild at Heart with Joss, Marti Noxon, and Seth Green?)"
For some inexplicable reason, this commentary is absent from the UK release :(

Hi.
I saw this thread earlier in the day and doing some unconnected research I happened across these quotes and it reminded me of this post. I saw this and thought of you, as the saying goes:
AOL Host: How important has the medium of the internet been to spreading the word about your shows?
Joss Whedon: I think it has been essential. The way "Buffy" and the internet have interacted has been unprecedented. I knew I had fans before I got a chance to see and understand what ratings were because I would go on sites and meet people. You know, the community that started out from, you know, the very beginning has just grown and grown. It is a mob scene now.
. "So knowing that I have an ARMY behind me, knowing how much you guys care and are willing to do... well it helps. A great deal. "
I hope this reassures you that Joss appreciates the fans but I haven't heard the commentary so I don't know. I know he does get frustrated at spoilers leaking out though.

I wish Adam had a commentary. Or at least the whole cast doing one commentary like they did with the LOTR saga :/
As far commentaries, I really liked War Stories. I Might Be Wrong since it's been a while since I've seen them.

I wish that every writer & cast member could have done every episode they wanted to comment on, especially if this meant more than one commentary track per ep. On the other hand, Morena didn't seem to have much to say. On the gripping hand, this may have been because she found few opportunities to get a word in edgewise. Group commentary can degenerate into an irritation, if one of the group tends to tread on the others.

even though I adore Jewel, they should have had Alan and Gina do a commentary together.
They should have had Alan do one on his own. Maybe he'd have been serious; at least he wouldn't be interrupting someone else's commentary. Put his one-liners on the gag reel.

I agree! It would be great to have multiple commentaries on the Serenity DVD just like LOTR. We could make the suggestion, and then push them for it because we really, really missed not having everyone comment on the episodes.
Favorite: War Stories, hands down.
Nathan: This next part is brought to you by black, the color of night.
Nathan: I really enjoyed this show — why’d it get cancelled?
Alan: I…I don’t know, I’ve got my theories.

My favorite bits were from Serenity:
(Inara having sex on screen)
(Nathan asks a question)
Joss: I'm Busy...
Or
Joss (as Summer): Does this cryogenic chamber make me look fat?

*waves hello* This is my very first post here at the boards - I don't know what took me so long to find this place but I'm glad I did.
I just had to weigh in on this subject for a number of reasons...but mostly just because I am a commentary junkie. My friends fall into that category that was mentioned earlier - that is, they think listening to commentaries is sad. And sometimes, they are right. Commentaries can sometimes be painful to listen to or just plain boring - so like I do with all shows/movies, I went into the Firefly ones with a little trepidation...but boy, was it unecessary! These were almost as entertaining as the show itself (which is saying a lot) and go a long way to showing how much of a rapor has developed between the cast and crew - which just makes me break into a big grin.
Favorite Commentary? Serenity...hands down. With War Stories coming a close second. Although, Objects in Space is quite amazing - it almost falls into a category of its own.
Favorite Commentator? Ooohh..I think I'd have to go with Joss (Objects in Space is amazing) but I have to say that Nathan was hilarious in both of his.
Favorite moments:
When Joss and Nathan are talking about Nathan's contacts being a problem, and then Joss realizing that it wasn't a reflection on camera but rather it was just Nathan trying to emote...and Nathan saying, "yeah, that was me acting!" he bit about the cryogenic chamber and Summer asking if she looked fat was priceless. Oh, and where Joss points out to Nathan (and to the audience) that when Alan is flying, there is no steering wheel. I had watched that episode so many times and never noticed that before... but then again, neither did they.
And the moments in War Stories where Alan is trying to convince Nathan that he is, in fact, taller than Gina. I still don't see it...
And like some others have said, I'd love to hear from the rest of the cast too - in particular, Adam.

I guess that settles it

I always like Joss the best because he combines, humor, personal insight and a few good bits of technical knowledge. I actually take notes when Joss speaks. Second only Tim Minear.
