Not valid without Lost or BSG actually either, especially if Firefly and GoT are on the list.
GoT is just as niche.
But...
The Wire
Firefly
Then Crapshoot
Mad Men Season 1-3 would probably be third. Then Breaking Bad. Then Dexter 1-3.
GoT (it's awesome, but I haven't seen enough)
Justified
Sopranos. Groundbreaking, maybe, bot so boring.

The Shield
Justified
The wire
Dexter
Game of thrones (but will get higher as more seasons come out)
Breaking bad
Firefly (would be higher if they did more seasons)
Sopranos
Boardwalk Empire(I'm kind of at a crossroads on this one, sometimes really good but sometimes really bad)
Mad men (never seen)
Well shite if we can add The Shield and Boardwalk Empire I'll edit to include.

I don't think Firefly should be on this list of ranking great shows. The few episodes we got are awesome, but it didn't last long enough to deserve to be in these type of ranking threads, much like Freaks & Geeks.
That said:
Dexter
Firefly
The Sopranos
Game of Thrones
Breaking Bad
The Wire
Mad Men

Game of Thrones is an awesome current show, but it should be no where near the top of the list as of now.
I think people are still judging it based on what the books achieved and not the show. Its only the 3rd season.
ETA:
Lost
Sherlock
The Wire
Breaking Bad
Sopranos
Battlestar Galactica
Luther
Mad Men
The Shield
Justified
Dexter
Boardwalk Empire

Firefly, seeing as how that and Sopranos are the only shows I've seen on this list.

The Wire (by a mile - dont get me started)
>
>
Breaking Bad - new levels of creativity and originality
The Sopranos - launched the golden age of television
Mad Men - so much greatness
Game of Thrones - epic
>
>
>
Justified - lots of fun, without the profundity and larger implications of the above shows
Firefly - lots of fun to watch, well made, see above
>
>
>
>
Dexter - couple entertaining seasons, had potential - writers got very lazy and sacrificed meaning and credibility for spectacle. It is barely worth watching now.

No love for Homeland in this thread?
I haven't watched all of the provided shows in the OP, but my list would be as follows (sorry OP):
Game of Thrones
Homeland
The Sopranos
Boardwalk Empire
Mad Men
Dexter
I have been meaning to get into Breaking Bad, I just haven't had the time. I watched most of the first season and it was incredible but I haven't seen enough to make it on my list. The same goes with The Wire.

Based on those
The Wire
GoT
Breaking Bad
Dexter (Up to season 4)
Justified
Mad Men (I watched up to season 3 or 4 I forget when I stopped)
I never watched Firefly and I only watched The Sopranos here and there.
My personal #2 is The Shield right behind The Wire.

Notes: I need to rewatch The Sopranos -- I may have ranked it too low.
I've only seen a few episodes of Justified and I thought it was really good.
And while all of the shows you listed have great ensemble casts, the only good thing about Dexter is Michael C. Hall -- he's so much better than the other actors on that show, it's silly.
