I am going to go, I think, with The God Complex... unusually an episode which does not feature River as most of my favourite Smith episodes do. I thought it was well written and fascinating though and provided interesting insights into the main characters (what was in the Doctor's Room? Why does Rory not have faith in anything?). There are plenty of other great episodes to choose from though. I found The Girl Who Waited to be very original and pretty much anything featuring River was very watchable. The Pandorica Opens was another great episode - brooding and full of menace, an insight into the Doctor's power and the reason he was so feared.
I liked that season. The Eleventh Hour wasn't a great story in itself but yes, I loved the way that it set up several themes that would later recur and also introduced Amy and Rory and gave a little of their backstories.
