Ummagumma, A Saucerful of Secrets The Endless River and Animals are my favourites.

Voted for Ummagumma for the well-applied Droste effect.

The Cow for artwork, DSOTM for packaging.

Dark Side, closely followed by WYWH and Animals. The Division Bell is pretty good too.

DSOTM. Simple. Classic.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Granted it is a very tough choice, but my vote went for the brilliant design of WYWH, just over the utter simplicity of DSotM.

Apologies for omitting 'A Collection of Great Dance Songs', and 'Is There Anybody Out There?: The Wall Live 1980-81' from the poll, BTW.

I do like Floyd's artwork, much more than the music. WYWH and AHM are my favorites.

DSOTM because the original vinyl release came with those 2 cool posters.  One of the pyramids and this one which I had on my wall for years...

^you seem to have Us/Canada-version, I have eighties Uk version where both posters are different (the band poster has different pictures and poster is horizontal, in pyramid poster pyramids are larger and colour is blue). Original UK has had same as I have (just watched from discogs). Have you got stickers? My version haven´t got them, in original there are also 2 stickers.
