There were various permutations on these, but which of these selections do you consider the best?

Wetton era. Their best material, most varied and best sound came from that era.

Oh God no! You can't make me choose!
I'm hoping that the Fripp/Belew/Levin/Mastelotto/Harrison will be my favorite, but for now, I'm debating between #4 and #5.

I only like ITCOTCK and part of Red, so my option is with the first KING CRIMSON lineup or second from this list, being that Giles, Giles & Fripp is another different thing.

Ditto!  I think Muir's presence really added something special to the band's sound.
The ITCOTCK lineup was also great... I have always been curious as to know what they would have done, had they stayed together.

Fripp-Wetton-Bruford-Cross for me. Just check out the GREAT DECEIVER live collection. Simply astonishing.

for me.. the classic line up.
Fripp, Lake, McDonald, Giles, Sinfield.
would have loved to seen where they would have gone. I enjoy moments of later phases of the group. But this line-up I thought was the most interesting.. quite possibly the most creative.

A vote for the Muir line-up. Can't stand Greg Lake and I try to ignore lyrics, so there's nothing appealing to me in the first one and a half albums except for in Mars.

That deserves some clappies ... I recently got both double CDs, and it's nothing short of stunning.
