This is a difficult philosophical quandary.
I suppose I'd have to go with regular potato chip flavor, then sour cream & onion, and then BBQ.
I remember the Lay's cheddar chips from the late 80s/early 90s being really good, but they were probably made from a known carcinogen that also depletes the ozone, so they've never made that exact flavor again.

Ahem, Doritos are corn chips, not potato chips.

Dangit, you're right. I always lump Doritos into the potato chip group for some reason.

I do remember the chips growing up being a LOT tastier than the ones today. Not that the ones today are bad, but they seemed more flavorful in the 80's & 90's.

Pringles are sort of a potato chip. Sour cream and onion pringles once opened, get finished. I've never had a different flavored Pringle ever, but I have tried numerous potato chip flavors. I wonder why that is

Oh a regular plain potato chip dipped in a good sour cream and onion dip, now that is truly my favorite. That puts sour cream and onion chips in second place now.

I think once you enter the world of dips, things get a lot more complicated. But of course, they will pretty much always beat a dry chip hands-down.

It's definitely a game-changer.

What do people dip their potato chips in besides sour cream and onion? I've never noticed another potato chip dip besides that at the grocery stores.

Hard to argue Lay's sour cream and onion. It's just a chip that's about perfect at any time. I do like Sour Cream and Cheddar ruffles a lot though as well.

Aaaaaallll of them. Which is why I almost never eat them.

But my favorite ones so far are the All Dressed style, something I never even knew existed. They're like...part BBQ but not quite. Part salt and vinegar but not quite. Part cheese, just a hint. And somehow all the flavors synergize rather than mixing into the crisp equivalent of "breen."

For the more normal ones, I love salt and vinegar and also the dill pickle types. I seem to crave salt things most of the time, rarely ever sweet ones.

Clam dip, but you rarely find it in stores; actually you need to dig and shuck your own clams while others milk the cow and make the cream cheese. Third party brews the worcestershire sauce. Should be ready by Christmas.

Ahh yes french onion. I have had that before and it's good. I like cheese dips with tortilla chips only but i suppose a potato chip wouldn't be too bad with it.

Some years back I sold some dehydrated dip mix that you would mix with sour cream/yogurt/etc. Let it sit overnight and it was fantastic. There were about ten different varieties. My favorite was cucumber dill. Yummy!

For typical flavors, I'd go Sour Cream n Onion.
But these are really good:
