For me there's no question: it's the Third - in any or all of its incarnations. What really clinches it for me is that stupid unison theme in the last movement - any composer worth his salt would have thrown that simple-minded episode as far away as possible, and, given Bruckner's tendency to make wholesale cuts in his revisions, I can't believe he didn't jettison it:
Certainly not one of Bruckner's happier inspirations! ;-)
I do give Bruckner credit for retaining that absurd slow polka ("happy peasants") in the same movement - You can't say he wasn't droll sometimes!
BTW, sorry! - this is the Schalk piano reduction of that unison spot I'm showing above, and I think he got his mitts into some of the dynamics - LOL!
