I usually help people with AVG because it's simple and works OK.
If you're not a cheapass, NOD32 is awesome, and Symantec Corporate Edition do pretty well. Norton is just a bloated sack of dog vomit.
ThunderByte AV was the world's most awesome, but it didn't make the transition to Windows.
It ran in protected mode and created a virtual x86 process and softvectored all read/writes to identify how the code ran in a virtual machine to identify heuristics, instead of just scanning for patterns like the rest of the time. It was a technological marvel.
