I went with:

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service over No Time To Die
The Spy Who Loved Me over Moonraker

Spy and Moonraker was tough, but the inventiveness and originality of the Liparus supertanker set courtesy of the then-brand new 007 Sound Stage created for this film, put Spy over the top.

Team MOONRAKER all the way. I have posted this before, but Tom Allen in The Village Voice still says it best:

"…enter the James Bond of Moonraker, a conceit of pure reflex action and the centerpiece symbol of a fully streamlined catalytic formula… it is as stylized as animation, and as choreographed as musical comedy… The people who made this impudent, wry, and exhilarating movie completely left out the '70s and its predominating motif of realism. Moonraker is the most expensive avant-garde movie since Barry Lyndon."

Ken Adam’s sets, mixed in with Venice, Rio and Iguazu Falls are breathtaking. Outer space is just icing on the cake. No other Bond film has matched that before or since.
