I voted for HoMM 3. That game is just perfect in every aspect: gorgeous graphics, amazing soundtrack, varied and balanced sides, etc.

But my true favorite will always be HoMM2, cause that's the one I played a lot when I was "little".

I remember I once managed to recruit some ghosts and 10 minutes later I had 300 of them

How did you manage that one? As far as I know they always attack, no matter the army's strength or level of diplomacy.

Anyway my favourite is also Heroes of Might and Magic III, it has it everything in my opinion that's used there. The special abilities of the units are working better / more often and the units themselves look better than in HoMM II, and the devil's faction makes for a pretty interesting campaign. In HoMM IV the mood and setting are a letdown I think, together with much worse monotonous music. However the units look better and their abilities are even better used in HoMM 4, however it doesn't suffice to make it up to HoMM III for me.
