Those are just some bands I listened to before my prog days, and I still think they are pretty good.
I thought about making this poll not just to see who wins but also to talk about these bands.

As much as I love all of them, if I'll have to choose one I'll go with Pantera. Dimebag Darrell IMO is the best metal guitarist ever, he is very creative and just plays like the devil, his solos are not for show, they are accurate and so awsome, not to mention his powerful hard rockin' riffs. Every member in the band is powerful which makes this band a nuclear bomb. I can go on and on but I'll stop here.

So who's your favorite band?

Pantera by far. HeadbangerDime created so many amazing metal riffs.
Listen to that groove at 2:02 - crushing.

I remember it came out as a single and I heard it on the radio, I couldn't wait to buy the album.
On cassette. He created a lot of amazing riffs.

I'm a metal freak but never liked pantera. Maybe I need to hear their music outside of their singles.

I can't really vote.  Megadeth is the only one of these bands that I am extremely familiar with and they would probably get my vote.  I have a few Pantera albums, but really only like a handful of songs.  I just downloaded the free compiliation CD from Paradise Lost, but haven't listened to it yet, and I am not familiar with them.  I've only heard a sample of Sepultura and I didn't care for what I heard.

I stoped listening to Megadeth after Youthanasia, but I can listen to Peace Sells...about any day. Paradise Lost have a lot of great stuff but you really need to know where to look, I've lost track of them in the second part of the 90's, I think their best is Draconian Times. Sepultura by the mid 90's began to include some brazilian folk stuff to their music, and it turned out to be very interesting, almost progy, although they are heavier than the others.

Smurph, I'll post a video later maybe you'll like it.

EDIT: Although Fox On The Rocks did post a good one.

Pantera.  I stayed with them to the bitter end.  The others I lost track of after awhile, though they all did good stuff.

RIP Dime.

I don't listen to any of these bands anymore but my vote goes to Megadeth because I still really like Holy Wars.

Lone vote for Paradise Lost it would appear. Unhappy
 
 
Not surprising really - they could have been huge following Draconian Times, but they chose to go the Gothic Rock/Synth Rock route with the next three albums which essentially killed any chance of Heavy Metal stardom ... what they did was still very good IMO (One Second especially), but it was just not Metal. Their last three albums have got them back in their Gothic/Doom Metal stride.
 
What?

It's actually hard for me to say because each of Sepultura's album sound different, but Arise I think is their most interesting thrash album, and everything following that album is  much simpler and fall more under a nu-metal/hardcore hybrid where my favorite album of that period would be A-lex, which is a concept album based on A Clockwork Orange.

I never heard A-lex, I believe it's without Max Cavalera right?

I really like Roots, and don't find it simple at all, I find it very mature, the fusion of their native music with the metal, it's really working well. Arise was the first one I heard so I have special feelings for it.

^ On a visit to Austin, TX some years back I hired a Ford Mustang from Avis at the airport. Someone had kindly left a copy of Arise in the CD player - a most welcome discovery Approve
