Maybe Musea, and it's hard to explain why.
Maybe because they just had some wonderful back catalogue, with re - issues of classic prog records, with well filled booklets of the history of a band.
Maybe because of their love of prog, and for being so obviously non profit.
Maybe because of their wonderful phrase  les classiques du futur (the future classics).
Probably just because of the music of acts like Sandrose, Rousseau, Neuschwanstein, Cliffhanger, Mugen, Pageant etc.

Independent labels or those, who are founded by musicians. For example A&M records, which was founded by Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss. They were independent until they were bought by a major company in 1989, and ceased to exist in 2000.

Altrock. (I suppose Fading also deserves mention, though I haven't acually heard anything from that label.)
 
Best modern label around IMO.

Harvest-for me, it qualifies,if only, for Quatermass, Triumvirat, and Helmut Koellen solo (though there are many other good artists there)
       my second choice would be other-Bellaphon-Bacillus-Dzyan, Pell Mell, Nektar, Midnight Circus

Independent labels, Repertoire from Germany and Akarma from Italy with thier fantastic reissues of obscure artists from the late 60's/70's. Honourable mention to Rhino for getting the ball rolling in the 80's.

Looking at my collection: wow, a lot of Earache references, some stuff from Relapse, also things from Roadrunner or Noise (me, a metalhead?), a growing set of Futura/Marge records, ReR, Cuneiform, Gazul...

Okay, let's say: "Others", for I could hardly make my own mind about my "allegiances".

Voted 'Other' because I really do not care what the label is.  It's the artists and the music that concern me.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

Racket Records - because it's owned by the band, they don't get ripped off.
