My experience with transit outside Atlanta is minimal, but I really like the DC Metro.
Of course, I don't think anyone could rank Atlanta's MARTA as anyone's best transit system. It's certainly excellent given its constraints, but state politics have made it kind of a bastard stepchild that doesn't get enough funding. That said, I ride MARTA quite a bit and it usually gets me where I need to go.
