Gielen without a doubt. Each recording is highly reccomendable on its own. If you were to ask which are the best performances in the box, I'd list just about the entire box.
What makes Gielen unique is that instead of focusing on superficial tempo changes, his ear is focused on the balance. For example, in the first symphony he brilliantly pushes the stopped and muted brass to the front of the balance in a number of key places (such as the 2nd movement scherzo after the exposition).
1 through 9 come in a single box. 10, Das Lied and Wunderhorn are available seperately.
And throughout, recorded sound is excellent -- one of the best recordings of the hammer blows in the 6th.
