I've only seen one Troughton story, but I was really impressed by it and him. It was the Invasion†- I may well get 'The Mind Robber' next.
Actually, I like all the doctors I've seen, but particularly Hartnell, Pertwee and Davison (I think it's the cricket !) Eccleston was pretty good, but I don't really like the format/ style of New Who - although having said that, the World War II two-parter was one of the best things I've seen on telly in ages. I'm suspending judgement on Tennant - I think he has great potential, but the script-writing last series was really disappointing.
†I was quite surprised by how much of that was recyled for the Ten Cybermen story - not the plot as a whole, but lots of minor details - including the use of mass communication devices, which seems very prescient of them.
