I picked There but for the Grace of God because it introduced the idea of alternate realities and really set up the idea that anything could happen in the Stargate world. Great episode too.
Torment of Tantalus. Sets up all kinds of important things for later, shows us Daniel's wonderful obsession and preoccupation with knowledge, introduces us to Ernest Littlefield (RIP) and had some very cool visual effects as well.
In the minefield of Sci-Fi cliches that SG-1 frequently navigates, The Nox feels truly original. Apophis, the death of SG-1, floating cities and hot hippy chicks; what more could you want?
I liked Withing the Serpent's Grasp. Mainly because the team goes on a strike mission to sabotage Apophis' fleet.

I voted for Torment of Tantalus. It was close between this, Within the serpents Grasp and TBFTGOG, but Within the Serpent's grasp lost because The serpent's lair was better, and TBFTGOG lost out becuase the line where Daniel says "ha ha you mean I'm in some kind of alternate reality" was overacted so badly that it still grates on me.
I voted for Torment of Tantalus because it was a good mythology episode and it was nice to see a good happy ending for Catherine and Ernest. It also brought a bit more background to the Stargate universe, not only with the four races but also with the experiments in the 1940's. It always sticks out in my mind, and I love watching it!
It was really between Children of the Gods, There but for the Grace of God, Within the Serpent's Grasp, Thor's Hammer and Cold Lazarus, but I ended up choosing The Torment of Tantalus.
