Which Donkey Kong?

[Vampyr]

So today after work I'm going to go pick up Wii classic controller, and later tonight I plan on buying one of the SNES Donkey Kongs. I never owned a SNES, so I feel like I really missed out on a great era of games, and the virtual console is a chance to catch up.

However, I have no idea which Donkey Kong is considered "the best". All three are available on the Wii Shop, and for the same price, so it doesn't matter to me which one I get, I would just like some recommendations.

I would also prefer if you didn't base your opinion off of nostalgia, maybe you owned the first Donkey Kong country as a kid and played it all the time; that's great but it won't make it any more enjoyable for me, I just want to know which one is the best game.
