I actually had to think about this for a while and I have narrowed it down to two periods:
Gladstone I and Disney
I say this because Gladstone I gave us the names and faces of Barks, Murry, and Gottfredson, introduced Rosa and Van Horn and stood by them, gave us the first good Mickey stories in decades and thier product was consistent from start to finish.
I had to think long and hard about Disney because as much complaining as I often do about the first half of thier run, the second half was darn near on par with Gladstone, and when they did do something right they did it darn well (Coincidentally, I miss Bob Foster :(). It also doesn't help that this was the period that I officially began reading Disney Comics in either. We got the Ducks and Mice, but more importantly - even after the implosion we were still getting a regular venue for the modern day characters as well back when Disney Adventures didn't suck. I'm not sure if nostalgia clouds my vision over it but I just think that this era really did try for a lot of things that i don't think Gladstone could have feasably done, and while I am of the opinion that Gladstone did do it better, that doesn't mean that I don't appreciate the efforts of the people that actually cared.

German Publications:
1992-1998 Micky Maus Magazin
USA:
Gemstone since 2003
I like the recent Egmont Comics less and less. Fortunatly, Gemstone just picks out the best of them. At the moment the most enjoyable Disney Comic publications for me are Gemstone's books.

We all get nostalgic every once in a while.
