I personally think Batista at WM 35 but... "The End of an Era" Hell in a Cell Match from WM28. Seeing Taker, HHH, and HBK standing on the entrance stage post match will always be ingrained my head, and would've been a fitting end to both Hunter and Taker's in-ring career. No matter the outcome, they're all winners. ...can't argue with this.

Seems funny to realise that his full-time run came to an end way back in 2010, due to Sheamus.
All part time since then, quite a lot to be fair (about 30 when you knock off some house shows), but over nine years and just here and there.
Retiring after Taker at WM28 makes strong thematic sense. But you'd miss out on the big Bryan match and the Shield vs Evolution tags after that.
If he calls it quits after the mediocre Sting match and the Rock WrestleMania bout falls through, you don't get the Ambrose battle. End it after the crappy Reigns match and you lose the Rollins loss and the big fun mixed tag.
Post that tag there's nothing as good, and you get the giant disaster of the Crown Jewel tag. So maybe the mixed tag should be it.
But honestly, the Batista match was a good thematic capper and honestly means he pretty much finished at a good time, oddly enough.

The Batista one made sense, honestly. Match ran long, but I think it was still a match both guys ought to look back on with satisfaction. It was effective.
WM 30 was definitely his final "great" match, but the Batista one would be hard to top as a bookend.

My vote would be for WM30.
A perfectly logical conclusion to Triple H's part in that storyline, as the sub-boss before Randy as the actual final boss, would be for Triple H to tell Bryan he's a B+ all along and then get beaten by him so badly that he never wrestles again
That said, I would be sad not to have the Rousey match, not least because of the bit where she beat the shit out of Hunter. Honestly? That might be a great time to retire too.
Hunter, the Game, the cerebral assassin, got outsmarted by Kurt 'the light's gone out his eyes' Angle, and left his barely-even-a-wrestler wife to get murdered by one of the scariest women on the planet. How can his character possibly fail any harder than that?
