I voted for Kimi ga Nozomu Eien.
While I did enjoy Da Capo and Kanon, I found the more mature and older characters in Kimi ga Nozomu Eien somewhat more appealing. The more adult themes of the anime certainly didn't hurt my decision either. I've been watching the genre for some time and I guess it was the approach of having the story start in the last days of high school but mainly take place several years later that really sold the series to me. Most series in this particular genre only take place during the school years so it was nice to see one that didn't.
