Since originally leaving after his 1999 contract and renewal expired in 2005. Which version of his returns did you like best?
Nov 2007 - Sep 2010: Returns as a flop, then becomes SRS Jericho. All kinds of goodness between 2008 to 2010.
Jan 2012 - Jul 2012: Returns and feuds with Punk through Wrestlemania. Then turns face and loses MITB.
Jan 2013 - Jul 2013: Pretty empty return, putting over others as a mid-card IC contender competitor.
Jun 2014 - May 2018: Starts off with a boring feud with Miz. Does nothing of note in 2015 except being Tough Enough judge. Finally after partnership with Owens finds the list. Eventually turns face again.

2007 easily. Easily.Why? Because it gave us this.

07-10 has my vote. SRS Jericho was just incredible, especially the HBK feud. The Rey feud in 09 is also one of my all time favorites (The Bash 2009's existence is justified by the Mysterio/Jericho match on that card). The run dragged with a slow start in 07/early 08 and then with JeriShow but the highs were worth it. Also SAVE_US.222 is still one of the coolest vignettes WWE did ever.

2007 Jericho started off horribly, but early 2008, he finally got his shit together and was gold. Dude had the last great long term storyline in WWE with HBK. The worst part about this return was the fact that WWE tried stuffing all their heels in suits after he did it lol.

I spent weeks fixated on the save_us.222 return, so that one.

2016 - The List of Jericho was one of the funniest things ever

I am quite surprised the first run outnumbers the last return that much. I thought people loved the List of Jericho, KO and the Y2AJ period.

That last run he had was great but I’ve got to vote for that initial ‘07 return too. I don’t care if it initially was a flop, I loved the “save_us” stuff. Also the product felt f***ing dreadful at the time so Jericho coming back felt needed and like a breath of fresh air.
I even liked his save_us tights haha

Actual return, I gotta go with 07, but as for run I gotta go with 2016-17. His pairing with Owens and the list is some of his top tier shit

2007 was just plain and simple fun.

Which one was the one where he came out, creepily smiling, and didn’t say anything?

2013 for the first time ever (or rarely done ) tv matches alone, but the initial 2007 return for what gave us yet another evolution of his persona. He found himself again as a heel and had those epic encounters with Shawn and Rey Mysterio. I don't think he worked with Rey much at all aside from WCW at that point, and that feud with the IC title was fantastic.

The Save Us vignettes and viral marketing stuff were neat, but the JR impersonator’s amazing call of Jericho’s return where he mistook him for Mick Foley, Rey Mysterio, The Rock, Goldberg, Owen Hart, Arn Anderson, Randy Orton, Bobby Lashley, and Stone Cold will always stick with me.

I though Jeritroll was gold because it's something I would write/book.

I had totally forgotten about the return he did with the creepy girl vignettes until now. Was that the one he came back and didn't talk for like a month? Weird.

I think his last return is underrated. The scarf, "It", the list of Jericho, festival of friendship... it was all great stuff.
