Counting mods, the best for me is easy:
Morrowind + Vampire Embrace* + Yacoby's Vampire Hider (+ Dark Club for a fun place to crash when in the mood)
Love the Vampire Embrace seduction dialogue, somewhat cheesy but sexy. Love the ability to Embrace or enslave damn near anyone in the game. Love the giant leaps with feather-soft landings. Love the look of night vision (raises ambient light level iirc; much nicer looking than Oblivion's blueish shader). And this added to a game that I already enjoy? Fantastic! :)
* I use VE without Scripted Spells because I don't like to have many scripts 'polling' for custom spells (Morrowind requires a workaround to use scripts to achieve custom spell effects; later ES games enabled modders to attach scripts to spells); despite the readme, SS is not required to use most VE features.

Out of box... hard to say. Liked Bloodlines. Liked what I played of Soul Reaver (but lost the save due to an accident with that laptop and never got back to the series). Dark has some good elements but is flawed. Come to think of it... are there very many other "vampire games"? What are your favorites? Any memorable vampire moments to share?
