Goku's fight with Freeza is by far the best in the series and in terms of a moment,based on what I've read I think Vegeta stomping on Freeza is going to be my best.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Gohan killing Cell. Specifically, the dub version. The dire circumstances, Vegeta's distraction, the music cues, "NOW'S YOUR CHANCE!"...just perfect. Best episode of the series.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

I like when Dabura keeps beating up Buu but exhausts himself and gets turned into dessert.

In terms of animation? The Studio Cockpit segments of Goku VS Cell and whoever did the SSJ2 Goku VS Kid Buu segments.

Vegeta vs Recoome, no contest. It's extremely short but some of the best fight choreography/animation to date. It puts the Cell fight to shame. It's also remarkable faithful to the manga.

Best Fight: Z-Fighters vs. Vegeta. Although, on another day, it would be Goku vs. Freeza or Goku vs. Cell.

Best Moment: Vegeta's "Goku is No.1" speech. Hands down.

The manga version is a bit brief but is very potent and deep. The anime version of the speech though, is just so many shades of awesome. Especially the dubbed version. You finally get the witness Vegeta's psyche as it developed through the series via flashbacks and see how much he changed as a man with the experiences he goes through and how much Goku's actions changed the complexion of his character. Vegeta finally realizes why Goku has always been one step ahead of him, and instead of feeling bitter and angry, he comes to peace with himself and accepts that Goku is just simply superior to him. He finally lets go of his grudge and no longer saw Goku as his enemy, but as his friendly rival. Vegeta won his greatest battle and he didn't even have to throw a punch. His character had come full circle. Of all the deep and poignant moments the franchise has ever provided, that speech was the most deep and poignant moment ever in Dragon Ball.

Goku & friends vs Vegeta. The most intense and artful pendulum of conflict ever presented in the series.

For sheer animation quality, Goku vs Beerus from when they go underground onward.

In the world of movies, pretty much the entirety of the action scenes from movie 1. Favorite art style and my favorite time period in the story in general. Also, the soundtrack (Kikuchi score) that plays during Goku's fight with the spice rack, along with the mash-up BGM that's used when Piccolo and Goku fight together...unbelievably good.

Choosing a favourite scene is so hard, but I love the scene where the Z Fighters help Gohan during the Kamahameha wave clash.

Best fight for me is SSJ2Goku vs Majin Vegeta, that fight was epic! next is probably the Goku vs Freeza fight in RoF.
Best Moment almost all of Vegeta's hardcore speech, especially the ''Kakaroto, omae ga numba 1 da'' but it seems all his respect for Goku went down the hill in RoF since while the fight was going on he interrupts them by punching and kicking Goku.

Pretty much this.

Best fight in the manga to me has to go to Piccolo Jr. vs Goku, with the best moment in a fight easily going to the Kamehameha vs Galick Gun (transformations not included).

Best fight in the anime is probably Majin Vegeta vs SSJ2 Goku, with the best moment going to Beerus vs SSJ Goku in the sky, mainly because of the soundtrack and the animation. I might change my mind on the latter, I'm just not remembering much today.

Those Ginyu Force fights where the shiz, also Frieza's many transformations and the battles were some of the best fighting scenes.

I love how amazing Goten and Trunks are in this movie. That double kamehameha was badass and those hits had impact. It's a shame I haven't edited with it.

Honorable mentions:
Image

I don't know why but I fucking love the start of this fight. At this point it's been awhile since a 90% hand to hand combat fight.

Image
Goten finally gets teaching! It's so cool.

Gotenks in 2010's movie debut? Looking great!

If Kid Buu slapped his wife, it wouldn't be Vegeta dragging himself up from the dirt.

If Kid Buu slapped Bulma, Vegeta would have become a SSJ3 out of rage and then one shot Kid Buu. While a confused and somewhat angered Goku, still charging the Genki Dama, would have exclaimed, "What the fuck?! Now who am I gonna throw this fucking huge thing at!?"
