Of the lot, I myself would pick Frasier every time. The cast is all exceptional. David Hyde Pierce.
And even though it was the smartest situation comedy the US networks ever produced (if you don't include The Simpsons seasons 2-7 as a sitcom), it still had fun with itself and just worked for everybody.
Seinfeld was so good that it broke the sitcom. For a while after it, everything else seemed trivial or something. Being about "nothing" made it seem like forced comic situations were too forced, or something. But I'm not sure it plays as well outside of its moment in time.
