I'll nominate three:

1.  From top at Wintergreen with multiple individual peaks in distance, only Mid-A view somewhat similar to views out West ie: mountains versus ridge lines 

2.  Views both west and east at Snowshoe

3.  Tie between "kettle" view at Massanutten and northern view from top at Canaan Valley and Timberline.

Scenic Views:

  1. View of the Dry Fork(?) valley standing on top of the statue of Andy on top of Mount Porte Crayon.
  2. View from the top of Moonshine Mountain.

Most interesting view: Three Mile Island from the top of Roundtop.

Surprising view: View of Hagerstown from the top of Whitetail at night.

View of DCL from the top of Wisp is not bad.

Favorite views:

  1. View of Timbers Pub from the top of White Lightning at 4:30 PM.
  2. View of the Foggy Goggle from the top of Seven Springs at 11 AM.

My top picks are:

1) Blue Knob - has a rugged feel

2) Wisp - Deep Creek Lake

3) Laurel Mountain - similar to Blue Knob

4) Timberline

View from expert slopes at Jack Frost (river in valley) pretty good.

Chaga, you hit mine, but I think the best viewing spot is just before you hit the first drop. Last time I was there I just stood and looked.

My #1 by far was the top of Timberline (Pic below).  I've only been there once and I caught that around sunset that day and it was fantastic.

2 + 3 are the top of Lower Shays and the view over DCL at Wisp.
