Gen 3 by far. The power balance was really kept in check, so even if you had something with good stats like Salamence, its STAB moves wouldn't push past 80 BP, so you wouldn't get overwhelmed in damage, unlike modern STAB 100-120BP spammable moves that we get. No Scarf, Specs, Gems, Z-Moves- Dynamax stuff either
You could definitely mix in 1 or 2 UU, even NU Pokemon in your OU team and not be at a significant disadvantage
I do think Gen 5 is next up after that though
