Top 5 (right now):

Bruckner 8 (Janowski/OSR/Pentatone)
Mahler 6 (Levi/ASO/Telarc)
Beethoven 3 (Haitink/LSO/LSO Live and Vanska/Minnesota/BIS))

Bonus:
Myaskovsky 17 (Svetlanov/RFAS/Olympia) - although I could put a number of his symphonies here, including 13, 18, 23-25. Just wanted to get him on the list as his work is little known.

Beethoven 9 (Haitink/LSO/LSO Live)
Diamond 2 (Scwarz/Seattle/Delos)
Dvorak 9 (Fischer/Budapest/Phillips)
Hanson Sym 2 (Schwarz/Seattle/Delos - includes Sym 1 also great)
Hindemith Mathis der Mahler (Levi/Atlanta/Telarc)
Mahler 9 (Gilbert/Stockholm/BIS)
Prokofiev 5 (Levine/CSO/DG)
