Blizzard is my favorite compmany for a good reason. They do a great job making games. They have never dissapointed me. Warcraft II was my first PC game, and I've probably logged more hours on WC3 and SC than all other games combined.
I can't wait for SC:Ghost and World of Warcraft.
I reserve the right to be entirely wrong.

I was lucky enough to play in the recent World of Warcraft beta stress test. After playing that, I can truthfully say it is Blizzard's best game to date. But that's just my opinion.
Out of the games you listed I voted for Warcraft 3. I've probably played more of the 'real' Starcraft than the 'real' Warcraft 3, but with the capabilities of the War3 editor there are some wicked awesome mini games. I also enjoyed the hero element of War3. So the vote between Starcraft and Warcraft was a tough one. But War3 won by a hair.
P.S. by 'real' i meant the RTS element of those two games.
We all know how Blizzard like to polish there games to perfection. With VU not breathing down there back on SC:Ghost as they are on WoW I wouldn't expect the game 'til Spring '05. But hopefully we won't have to wait that long.
I would also have to say Starcraft is their best game, atleast for the time when it was made. As for games now, warcraft 3/ frozen throne and diablo 2 for me.

I love Blizzard. Been playing their stuff since Warcraft II back around 1995 or 96. Warcraft II is great however. It's their most balanced game to date and I love the hero aspect of it. It's far more mature of a game than Starcraft where there's really no microing. In SC you just get lots of money and build units faster than the other guy. In War 3 you have to both macro and micro.
Great game one of my all time favorites. And of course battle.net and kudos to Blizzard for keeping the service free. I hope WoW is successful so they can make some more money and keep games like Warcraft 3 free of charge on their service.
I just found Starcraft at next to my computer, who would've thought. I hadnt played it in 4 years or so. Put it in and played around 4 hours so far today. GREAT game.

These scores have to say something about the company.
I just realized that Starcraft: Ghost is going to be for all the consoles only. I am curious to see how Blizzard will do with this, considering it will be their first time venturing from the pc.
