Too many to even do a poll for really, but going all the way back to when he was a masked rookie until now, what has been the most amazing performance/best match that you have seen out of him?
(Asking for my general youtubing purposes later today...)
Also, in before someone says the 18 second match with Sheamus.

The popular answer will probably by vs. KENTA at RoH's Glory by Honor V. I really liked his match with Nigel McGuinness. I don't know how much you're into indy wrestling, but it was an RoH event called "Unified". It was held in England sometime in 2006. That may be my favourite Danielson match.
Of course, he's had a bunch.
You can YouTube pretty much any Bryan Danielson match, and in all likelihood you're going to watch and awesome, at the very least good, match.
That's just how awesome he is.

One of my favourite Bryan matches is a match from Samoa Joe's ROH title run. They "only" got about 18 minutes or so but beat the shit out of each other and just nailed it. It wasn't one of those overly long title matches ROH was prone too at the time (despite it being my favourite time of any company, ever).
That match made me realise Bryan was going to take over Benoit as my all time favourite because, he didn't win the belt but came out looking like the man.

Danielson vs. KENTA - Glory By Honor V Night 2 Danielson vs. McGuinness - Unified Danielson vs. Morishima - Manhattan Mayhem II/Final Battle 2008
And one that isn't as popular and is rarely brought up...
Danielson vs. Cabana - Gut Check. Not the prettiest match by any means but for a guy to wrestle 50 more minutes with a separated shoulder is phenomenal.

I remember when he first started in 2010, he had a match against Sheamus that was so good, it made everyone believe he was a great wrestler. Too bad WWE decided to create a Sheamus fetish afterward.

Wrestlemania XXX vs HHH. Tons of emotion, hot crowd and an overall solid and perfectly laid out match.

Wrestlemania XXX vs HHH. Tons of emotion, hot crowd and an overall solid and perfectly laid out match. That's up there with the RR 2000 match against Cactus Jack as one of my favorite Triple H matches, as well. Also, major props to DB's match, with Ziggler, at Bragging Rights 2010.

vs. Nigel at Unified. Not only is it my favourite match of his, it is my favourite match period.
Hon. Mentions (not including one's already mentioned in this thread):
vs. Strong (Vendetta) vs. Nigel (Rising Above '08) vs. Sheamus (Extreme Rules) vs. Punk (Over The Limit)
Also most other matches he had with Nigel and almost every match he had with Aries.

There was a 2/3 falls match he had with Paul London in...ohh, 2002, 2003? Before London started in WWE at any rate. Fantastic match from what I remember, not seen it in at least 8 years mind.

His match with Nigel at Unified is excellent and possibly his best.
For me though, I have to go with Triple H at mania 30. Just a great performance by both guys, great storytelling and really hot crowd.
Best Wrestlemania opener of all time. This even tops Bret and Owen for me.

Besides the matches already mentioned:
-He had a match with KENTA that is an extra on the Driven 07 DVD I believe. Maybe not as good as the GBH match, but still amazing. -while on the subject of Driven, his match with Nigel on that show is also awesome. Again not as good as Unified but probably my second favorite between the two. -Summerslam 2013 vs. Cena. I don't know how this one wasn't mentioned yet, as it's probably my favorite WWE match of his.

To be fair, it's not like Sheamus was sleepwalking through it. He's pretty damn good in his own right when they don't have him making the entire match about hitting the Brogue Kick or book him like shit.

I've seen his ROH work and and even considering those, which are simply awesome, I still put the HHH match above those. That match was perfect on every level.
