I vote 80-82
It's not definitely my favourite regarding the music, that would be 73-75. And I actually remember the 84- present era as it happened.
However there is such a great spirit in 80-82 that I still love. From The Game and getting big in the US, then the South American tour, and Greatest Hits 1, you can tell they've stripped back the music and visuals. Got haircuts and just wear blue jeans and they seem to be having a great time. Flash Gordon too. On the crest of a wave, they looked and sounded fresh and modern despite being ten years in the business.
The South American concert videos are some of my favourites too.

Despite my vote which was ANATO ADATR I always consider their first 5 albums like one period. I really have a big interest and somehow a weird love to their dark period 83 - 85 I always find sweet and bitter. Their talent was there, some songs and ideas were very clever and great. On other hand there are some uninspired moments or easy digest things. Moreover the period where Freddie starting losing his sweet tone and having big voice problems on their concerts. Some of their concerts were on fire while others were like let's do a good concert. It was a dark period the band knew it. Their anxiety and pressure to be back and sound fresh was very obvious. In my opinion they didn't use Brian and Freddie 100% and also so much drum machines and loops. However they gave us some diamonds and The works which in my opinion needed some more songs in order to be a milestone album. yea, and the songs were there, they made poor choices during that period. Add I GO Crazy, Let Me In Your Heart Again and Love Kills, take out Man On The Prowl.
