I will still stand by asfxx and LOVEppears being my two favorites, asfxx being #1 for me.

I am almost getting to the point where the order in which I love her albums is also the chronological order...how strange.

I didn't vote for A Song for XX, but I feel like it's worth to have it since it's her first album.

I voted for:
I am
Rainbow
Memorial Address
^ these three are like the trilogy of trilogies. Best out there.

Love Songs
^ this one got me back into Ayumi again after not really liking Guilty to Rock n Roll Circus.

Love again
^ this is just the mini albums on one album, but the music was pretty good.

I'm late to this conversation (per usual), but if I had to choose three:

1) MY STORY - This is probably her most cohesive album despite the amount of songwriters (compared to something like Love songs. It's one of her darker albums, but HONEY & Replace really help lift it up towards the end. Best bang for your buck overall.
2) (miss)understood - Best bang for your buck PV-wise. At the time I thought the Sweetbox numbers were a bit off, but looking back it really pushed Ayu into a completely different direction compared to all her previous albums. I think this is what preluded 3/4s of her material after this point (as in most albums can be traced back to this one as its starting point).
3) Memorial address - Even with other artists, I haven't found a mini album that's quite as packed as this one. Even though you only get three album songs, you also get two songs not included in A COMPLETE and the PVs for four of them (of the five altogether). What's amazing is it actually feels like Memorial address and MY STORY go hand-in-hand—the 25 songs can be played consecutively without feeling disjointed.

All of these have a good balance of both Ayu-penned tracks (with Will being the last one we've gotten) and other songwriters that are still pretty active today.

I would vote for A Best but it's not there

That album is such a significant stage in her career

I will just say all of them have at least few songs worth it. But you can bypass Love and Again and buy LOVEagain instead.
