Depends on the genre
For 'management' style hybrids, the Civilizations series. (I like Call to Power best, haven't really sat down with Civ 3 yet)
Pure military:
Toss up between military madness (TG16), the newest version of Risk I have, and a shareware game I once had called Global Thermo nuclear war (grin)
Action:
a Star Trek game I had for the commodore
Favourite Real Time Strag game:
Dungeon Keeper series (evil grin). Fun game, if a little restrainted...
A turned based version would be enjoyable:
The various 'Age of Empires' engine games (Age of Empires, Age of Mythlogy, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds)

Heroes of Might and Magic II and III & Master of Orion II. Also Birth of the Federation (I'm sorry, even though it was very flawed, I still had a lot of fun playing BoTF)

UFO: Enemy Unknown, and Medieval: Total War (Yeah, I know it's not entirely Turn-based, but it's great anyway)

X-Com: Enemy Unknown and Terror from the Deep. TFTD still has me hiding. Disciples 2 and its expansions, Master of Orion 2 and the more recent Reach For the Stars.

UFO: Enemy Unknown. If only it worked properly on my newly upgraded PC.

Final Fantasy Tactics, of course.
Also, creech; Dragon Force was a great, addictive strategy game, and it alone made the Saturn worth owning, but it wasn't really true turn-based strategy.

I realize that but it was kind of a mixture of turn base and realtime. Either way it still kicked ass

Turn DirectX off or download the newest version of the major editing program for it. But be prepared to kick the speed down a good deal

I'd recommend you get it. It includes the best aspects of the Call to Power games, and drops the annoying factors that hurt them, with the best of the real Civilization line.

The original Panzer General and Master of Orion 2
I had the pleasure of not having my good computer avaliable to me over the entire course of winter break...leaving me to cry at the keyboard of a crappy 100 Mhz Pentium. It was terrible
Until I remembered I had Panzer General on it
Maybe it was because of the situation I was in, but I had just as much fun playing this old game as I do now playing BF1942, KOTOR, and SWG. My only complaint is the difficulty. The game is SO DAMN HARD! After I kept failing to take France quickly enough (that's how hard it is lol) I took of the Fog of War and put the settings to very easy. Even then it was tough...but a week later i was marching upon Washington
So much strategy and fun in such an old game...gotta love it

As the most played game I'll say Heroes 3 and 3.5 (WoG).
But as my favorites: Fallout 1&2&Tactics and Might&Magic 6&7&8&maybe 9
They are not trully turn based, but I played them only in this mode. I'm not the Diablo-style fan so a turn based mode suits me better.
And, of course there are other I enjoyed, like Worms Armagg and Panzer Gen 2
