2000AD prog 200 featured the beginning of Strontium Dog's Portrait of a Mutant. Cerebus #200 concluded Mothers and Daughters.

For me, 'Other' in this instance being Avengers #200.
Sure, these other #200 issues are fine whether they be highlights or culmination of stories but it's because of it's controversy that Avengers #200 is far more memorable. It's still vilified to this day. The background of producing this issue makes it more remarkable. You have the hodgepodge of writers culminating this story line, the supposed editorial interference that lead to changing/altering/editing the original ending, then the underlying controversy itself. Plus Claremont's (in)famous rebuttal of it in Avengers Annual #10 only adds to it's mystique (pun intended). A tarnish on the franchise that occurs in it's #200! Simply amazing.

Brave and Bold 200 is an awesome one... one of the few floppies I still have...It was my introduction to Dave Gibbons, and he does an incredible job drawing TWO different artistic styles. It's a great story, also.
However, I voted JLA 200... which I loved so much when it came out, I just bought the JLA Celebration of 60 Years hardcover (in spite of bad reviews) just because it's reprinted in it.

I really liked IRONMAN 200 and his final battle with Obediah Stane. I think it really wrapped up the arc nicely and the fight was classic comic rock ‘me sock ‘em. Not to mention my introduction to Mark Bright art. On the flip side, while I can’t remember specifics I don’t remember especially liking XMEN 200

Not to mention my introduction to Mark Bright art. On the flip side, while I can’t remember specifics I don’t remember especially liking XMEN 200 Agreed on Iron Man #200; it featured the resolution to a long-running story line, which is always great in an anniversary issue. X-Men #200 had the trial of Magneto, in which the World Court essentially said that he couldn't be tried for terrorism because he was acting as a representative of his people and had to be treated as an independent nation would, or some such. I thought it was silly, although I guess it was done so Magneto could act as Xavier's school's new headmaster without readers having to wonder why he wasn't arrested. (Oh, and Xavier had to leave Earth for medical treatment).
Can't say that I much liked it either; the X-titles seemed to be running short of steam after the Asgard stories.

I didn't realize that Iron Man #200 was so well regarded. Even though I plan to skip the rest of O'Neil's run, maybe I'll check that one out.
