This is one I've saved with my favorites because I like live. There are a ton of good versions on CD. My favorite is The Academy of St. Martin's in the Field conducted by Sir Neville Marriner. Here.

I find it impossible to say one is the best. It all depends on personal preference. There are a number that I like including these.

Handel - "Messiah"/ The Choir of King's College, Cambridge

Haendel Messiah , Oratorio 1741, Hogwood , AAM , Kirkby

This is like choosing between a Ferrari 458 Italia and a Lamborghini Aventador

But I'll give the edge to the one featuring Emma Kirkby. She has the purest, sweetest voice I've ever heard. Her rendition of Mozart's Exsultate Jubilate is sublime.
