Best Season Finale of Star Trek

Best of Both Worlds. Maybe actually The Neutral Zone second. Odd!
There are no Series Finales on the list, period. It would probably upset the voting quite a bit, too. I mean, everybody would be voting for "These Are The Voyages!"
NCC-1701 said in the opening post why he leaves out the series finales:
Shh, someday they'll think you're my dual.

Maybe I am. Maybe you're schizophrenic and don't even know it.
Then wouldn't you be schizophrenic as well?Maybe I am. Maybe you're schizophrenic and don't even know it.
No. There's no part in me which would want to heal The Nagus in the DS9 Hurt/Heal game.Shh, someday they'll think you're my dual.

No I'm the sane half of me.
ETA: Proven by the fact that I'm not hurting The Nagus.
For me, Call to Arms just beats out Best of Both Worlds.
Best of Both Worlds. I believe at one point it was voted one of the top 10 TV cliffhangers of all time.
All of the series had a problem with making the second of any two-parter measure up to the first. I'd agree that "Scorpion" was one in which the payoff came up short, but do you really think that "Basics - Part 2" failed to deliver the goods?
Scorpion may have a weak payoff as an episode, but it can't compare to the opening scene of Equinox part 2. I still remember how angry I was that I spent all summer trying to figure out how the hell Janeway was going to recover from being attacked by that crazy alien, only to tune in and see her simply duck out of the way. LAME!

oops missed that bit
My #1 is BOBW. From TNG, I also really enjoyed "Time's Arrow" for some reason, along with "Descent." Both of those part ones were much better than the conclusions, IMO. I'm also a fan of "Call to Arms" (other than the Rom/Leeta nonsense.) For Voyager, I think they nailed it with "Scorpion" and "Equinox." Unfortunately, all the cool ideas brought up in "Equinox" (and the Equinox characters themselves) were never heard from again. 
Edit: Forgot to mention "Shockwave." They created an excellent and tight plot with a great build-up to the "WTF" moment in the 31st century. This one probably has the worst part 2 out of any season-ending cliffhanger, though.

Call to arms
Agreed. I loved the scene with Kira and Odo standing there as Ops self destructs all around them.
