Like the title says, which run of consecutive years, or just one year do you consider his best?

I really enjoyed 1997/8, he was having great matches with the likes of Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Stone Cold, Mankind, not to mention the feud with Kane was really intriguing. Also the character was a perfect medium between his previous quiet/mysterious demeanor, but he had more of a badass edge to him around this time. Once 1999 hit and the ministry gimmick started, everything went downhill
An honorable mention for 2002/3. I'm not sure if it's a popular opinion or not, but I really dug him around this time, especially mid-2002 during the whole 'respect' thing he had going on.

Character wise Ministry Taker of 99, too bad he was so out of shape then that the matches were terrible. Match wise Big Evil of 02-03 he was on fire.

My favorite Undertaker was his original incarnation, 1990-1994. Grey gloves, ruthlessness. Second would be his run from like 1996-1999.

'94 through '98 as well as his heel run from '02. Everything else since then hasn't been very interesting.

I've loved him from 04 on. His ring work started to step up in 2000, but by 2004 with his Deadman return, it really went up to another level. With a decent opponent and some time, you could pretty much guarantee a good match from him every week on Smackdown.
I also think his appearance was the coolest then. Especially when he was wearing pants instead of the body suit thing...

2007 to 2010.
He was in great shape and did the best in-ring work of his career in this period imo.

2000 up until his heel turn. He was damn cool.

I would say from Royal Rumble 1996 to SummerSlam 1998. Memorable PPV matches include:
vs Bret at Royal Rumble
vs Diesel at WM 12
vs Mankind at KotR
vs Mankind at SummerSlam
vs Austin at A Cold Day in Hell
vs Bret at Summerslam
vs Shawn at Ground Zero, Bad Blood and Royal Rumble
vs Kane at WM and Unforgiven
vs Mankind in the Hiac at KotR
vs Austin at Summerslam
Also, there was so much character development. For the first time, he seemed human.

I think the only time I've seen Undertaker run was when he got caught in his pyro at Elimination Chamber.

It's hard to choose really he's had so many great periods in his career. But for the guy to be so good even in his last appearences against The Shield shows that maybe from about 2006 to now he's been at his best, even if we doubted him at times (2009 feud with Punk, 2010 feud with Kane).

The whole Biker taker gimmick. Never been a fan of the deadman character, but he was a badass as bikertaker.

I haven't gone back and watched it, and I remember a good number of matches from this run sucking, but I loved his run as a heel from late 01 until mid 02.

1996 - 1998 was his prime, in my opinion. Though Biker Tiker was a great period just because he showcased that can actually cut great heel promos.
