My favorite would have to be the "Spacey/Early" period.

 Absolutely stole my words! 
I choose the Space/early progressive period 69-72, arguably their most prog and most fun! Though I would have seperated it so that there was a 67-73 ere. I think Everything up to Darkside is 4/5 star prog, everything after Darkside is questionable, and none of the after Darkside albums are 5 stars IMO.

I like it all, but the run from "Meddle" to "Animals" is the best. It would be perfect if "Obsured by Clouds" wasn't in there. That doesn't mean it's a bad album, but it is one of their weakest.

the 2nd period of Prog for me is the best!!
That period is the style of music that inspired most of the progressive modern bands!

Syd Barrett's age, most definitely. It's defined in its uncertainty, warm in its contained, devotedly personal approach and so original. I always enjoy most the music that seems in some way or another to step outside music as we comfortably define it. Syd Barrett Pink Floyd subtly did so.

My favorite period is actually from '71 to '79. From Meddle to The Wal, all incredible!l 
I went with '73 to '76, however.

Indeed!!
"Ode aux Pink Floyd
Vous chantiez en ce temps là !
Le verbe se cristallisait autour de votre musique stellaire
Les collines de Pompei brillaient comme le cuir des vaches sacrées
Le bassiste avec ses accents musicaux plus que géniaux
Faisait vibrer les volcans
Toi, David Gilmour, transfiguré comme Jésus sur le Mont Sinai
Jetais dans le vent des paroles suaves
Nick Mason se déchaînait comme un diable divin
Sur sa batterie aux accords d’enfer
Et les lubriques colonnes de Pompei renvoyaient
Les échos mirifiques d’ancestrales vibrations acoustiques
Vous couchiez sur les papier des solfèges électroniques
Qui retentissaient aux confins du Sud
Comme de profondes notes italiques
Et tout dans la nature était une ode fantastique
A votre lyrisme autant qu’à votre jeunesse
Vous aimiez, point final ! "

I choose the Space/early progressive period 69-72, but it isn't that far from the refined period. I'm waiting to get the Pompei DVD

I'd rather divide it as 69-72 -- 73-79 periods. Then the choice is tough as these periods are not really comparable.
The music of the former is like the warm gentle sea you're plungeing in and dissolving in, whereas the music of the latter is like the distant castle on the mountain, cold and shining, which you're staring at and enjoying.
So what do you prefer? The warm sea or the cold castle? I cannot say...

They never released a bad album up until Gilmour took control.
The Final Cut wasn't bad, it just didn't sound at all like Pink Floyd, and I don't consider it to be a true Pink Floyd album.
After Waters left the band started writing love songs. Pink Floyd was never a love song band. Their songs are usually much deeper than that. SO, lyrically, i found the Gilmour era very disappointing.
Anyway, enough negativity. I voted for the Syd age. Piper has always been my favorite album by them.

...and i would add that "Pompei" is the end of the psychedelic era, before PF entered into a more mainstream and commercial era with DSOTM.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
