I'd probably say Deathsmiles as it's just so easy to pick up and play...
but I really, really love Sexy Parodius because it has objectives to the stages and completing or failing them presents you with different stages and bosses, so it has an amazing amount of replay value. (Gokujou Parodius is all around excellent also, just a bit on the easy side, but great for seeing how far you can get on 1 credit.)

Opa-Opa appears as one of the main characters in the World War Blue (Aoi Sekai no Chuushin de) manga and anime. Her name is "Opal" in that, but she's got all the daddy issues of the original game:

My favorite hori Shmup is Deathsmiles. I dig the music and who doesnt like a good zombie cow? Honorable mention goes to the NES version of LifeForce...I love that fucking slowdown.

Old School - Gradius III - Played it so much on SNES, I wore the cart out. On my 2nd copy.
Bullet Hell - Progear - Had it on the candy cabs I rocked for a while there and this recieved more play time than anything except maybe X-Men vs. Street Fighter. Never 1CCd it, but I did get to lvl 5 1CC. Maybe I'll try it on ROM.
Not really best, more favorite so moving it to the bottom...
Traditional - Otomedius Excellent - Always liked the Gradius series. Add anime boobs and it's just more of a good thing.

El arte del esquive!
The greatest fun I could have ever had with my brother playing NES was with that game.

Only reason I ever played this version was because of that story! What an awesome game!

That's really cool and it also means a lot to me. Everything of that era NES with the konami logo was pure gold. So many memories.

It just didn't occur to me that I was a millionaire.
Wait a minute…I know why it didn't occur to me!
