I dunno, I like the whole run... The "Snake-Eyes Trilogy" in the 90s is good... The battle of Behnzeen is pretty interesting, mirroring the then-current first Gulf War... And I love "Destro: Search and Destroy" from 116-118. There's even some good stuff in the 120s-130s, in my opinion. Duke leading the defense of the Pit, for example, and the storyline where Hawk and a group of Joes are trapped in Borovia and Hawk gets shot. I even like "Triptych" and "Diptych" because even though they feature both the Eco Warriors and Ninja Force (and green Firefly!), the storytelling mechanism is pretty neat (plus I've made no secret of the fact that Slice is one of my favorite Cobras).

Once it becomes "G.I. Joe Starring Snake-Eyes and Ninja Force," it's not so great. The Star Brigade story, while out of place in a G.I. Joe comic, was nonetheless entertaining -- Larry Hama thought of "Armageddon" before Hollywood did!
