What is your favourite BO Arcs or Specials?

I'm going to do a runthrough what I think of each option.

Game Conference Murder Case
Tequila gets introduced!!!! But gets killed off few pages later. I think nothing of significance was done here actually, not a big fan.

One Billion Yen Robbery
I have pretty vague memories of this one, I'll go watch it some other time

Girl from the Org/University Professor Murder Case
I liked this one. It helped advance the plot much more and Haibara is just awesome

Reunion with the BO
I liked this one pretty well. It helped advance the Haibara-BO relationship and introduced new characters. I thought the suspects in that case was pretty cool, pity that Pisco got killed so fast

Contact with BO
It was pretty okay to me, though I felt that Gin/Vodka got dumbed down a bit since they weren't shown wondering who dafuq picked up the phone when Itakura was already dead when the phone was picked up. Meh.
If you think more options should be added, just tell meh! For example, I've been thinking whether to add stuff like Bathroom Secret or The Tenth Passenger, but...

I like both the Full Night Mystery, and the Mystery Train. Awesome double disguises in the former, and unexpected disguise-r in the latter. I voted for the Full Night as it is my most favorite chapter. Although there is as much revelations in the Bell Tree, I like how the author slightly (if not, really) twisted the presentation of the plot-related material, and the "filler", in the Head-to-Head Match. (:

Detective Conan episode 345 is borderline flawless.

425 is my fav, with 345 just one point behind.

Dark Contact. Two Mysteries is probably the single most 'overrated' DC case

Clash! Despite

Wow, Clash of Red and Black is getting significantly less votes than what I thought it would get. Surpising!

no one likes billion yen robbery and girl from org lol.

I was actually thinking of choosing the latter, but 345 is kinda brilliant from beginning to end while 129 is only on that same level for less than 1/2 of it.

I can't pick a single favorite. You really have to give it to Gosho, there isn't a single major BO confrontation I was disappointed with; they deliver, and their rewatchability factor is amazing. I have rewatched some of these cases more times than I can count and they never get tiring/boring.

Video Conference
Not much to say about this one, least favorite, for obvious reasons.

One Billion Yen Robbery
I love both the manga and anime versions; Akemi's death was handled really well.

Girl from the Organization
Awesome since it introduces Haibara, and generally was a solid introductory episode for her. Only complaint is that the first half was kind of slow.

Reunion
One of my favorites. The set-up, the suspense, the hinting at the relationship between Shiho and Gin, all the small storyline hints, and the showdown on the hotel roof, all great stuff.

Dark Contact
This case was awesome for setting up the intriguing Itakura mystery, as well as the whole climax with the lockers. That was a great scene.

Dual Mystery
There doesn't need to be an explanation for why this is absolutely amazing.

Shadow of the Black Organization
This was good, but not the best. It did advance the plot a bit, obviously, but there wasn't too much.

Clash
This arc was excellent. The battle of wits between the BO and the FBI was fun, and the respect Akai and Conan develop for each other of the course of the arc is great.

Mystery Train I'd have to say the best are Reunion, Contact, Dual Mystery, and Clash.

Reunion. Plot stuff got done and the case itself was pretty decent. Anokata was introduced. It was a suspense highpoint in the oh-shit-oh-shit sense unmatched by any other case except Dark Contact when Gin starts opening lockers. Clash of RvB would be my second pick.

I like both Black Impact and Mystery Train, bit I more prefer Black Impact.
