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.

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

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

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.

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.

Atlantic just about ruled the seventies.
But since then, a number of indy labels have lead the prog cause.
I'd have to say Cuneiform for being the most daring and consistent.
But there are plenty of close seconds.
