If your question is based on sound quality, just about any of them. Hard to go wrong. The HDCD versions might be best if you have a unit which can decode them. If you are talking about performance quality, which performances are you interested in?
I only have it on vinyl, but I really like the Kronos Quartet - "In Formation" RR-9. I have quite a few others, but frankly, I'm not nearly as crazy about most RR's as some people - either from a recording or performance standpoint.

The one's on Arthur Salvatore's (who's opinions I generally find accurate) list are:

ARNOLD-OVERTURES-ARNOLD/LPO-REFERENCE RECORDINGS RR-48

EBONY CONCERTO-YEH/DEPAUL UNIV. WIND ENSEMBLES-REFERENCE RECORDINGS RR-55

FIESTA (REED/GOULD/NIXON/WILLIAMS/PERKINS)-DUNN-REFERENCE RECORDINGS RR-38

WEBER/BRAHMS-CLARINET QUINTETS-EDDIE DANIELS-REFERENCE RECORDINGS RR-40
