Any Garak episode, especially the first scene in Past Prologue when Garak swoops in and hits on Bashir. Gayest. Scene. Ever.

The Trouble From Tribbles one! Love it 
on both original and DS9!
on both original and DS9!I too love Trials and Tribble-ations! Of course, I'm a Tribble fan.
And I love Necessary Evil! It was brilliant backstory, and backstory on shows can often be a bit of a letdown.

Trials and Tribble-ations is, of course, at the top of the list.
I find Our Man Bashir to be ridiculously fun romp every time, and I really wish the looming threat of legal menace hadn't gotten in the way of more Bond send-ups. Also, House of Quark and Looking for Par´mach in all the Wrong Places; I adore Grilka.
For heavier episodes, Improbable Cause + The Die is Cast, The Wire, Cardassians, Dr Bashir, I Presume, In Purgatory's Shadow, and Nor the Battle to the Strong. Also, Shakaar - any episode where Kai Winn gets egg on her face is one I'm inclined to like.
Duet, Far Beyond the Stars, and In The Pale Moonlight are some of Trek's best, but a bit too grim for me to rewatch unless I'm specifically in the mood for them.

You don't need to have a legal leg to stand on to send a C&D letter, just faith that whomever you're targeting won't/can't take the time and money to contest it in court. I don't know if MGM would be more relaxed these days, but, yeah, the rights-holders were not happy at the time.
Per Memory Alpha:
I love any episode that deals full on with the history of the occupation.I just rewatched some excellent season 2 episodes which I thoroughly enjoyed. Necessary Evil I thought was brilliant. It plays like a film noir short story. It establishes the history of Odo, Kira, Quark, and Dukat's relationship, and sets the darkness of the occupation period on DS9 nicely against the light of the present Federation era. And it's a good mystery.
For anyone who thing Trek is too dark now it didn't get much more horrible than the creepy Cardies
I love "Emissary" the story I found touching and interesting; everything in the episode was a mystery and I was immediately invested to the main characters.
Geez, the entire first 2 seasons for me, I loved the world building done by the creative team, it was definitely set to be entirely different from TNG. "Duet", "The Storyteller", "Progress" , Dramatis Personae", and "In the Hands of the Prophets".
"Whispers" was a fun brain teaser episode which had some invasion of the body snatchers vibe but the resolution was quite satisfying. I thought "Second Sight" was a nice Sisko episode, The three part Season Premiere was an interesting plot for the crew which was different and showed how far away the Federation frontier was to them. I loved that because my heroes had to solve these issues by their own means and not the assistance from Starfleet. Other purely watched episodes were "Tribunal", "The Collaborator", "The Wire", "Playing God", "Armageddon Game", "The Alternate", "Melora", "Cardassians", "Necessary Evil", these episodes are so good, I honestly don't think DS9 got any better when it came to performances and isolated storytelling.
Season 3 had some interesting work like "The House of Quark", "Equilibrium", "Second Skin", "Civil Defense", "Defiant", "Destiny", and my favorite of my list "Explorers" where Sisko takes his son out on an interesting quest where the Cardassians do something which was so enlightening and so showed another facet I loved about that race.
I will add "The Visitor" in my bonus list but that's that.

Any of the Klingon ones in my opinion
Just saw this for the first time since I was too young to understand. Absolutly brilliant first scene from Garek
Yep, the cost of fighting a lawsuit is enough to ensure people avoid them.
Some of the - now dead - most awful criminals used the threat of legal actions to keep themselves safe during their lifetimes.
Sacrifice of Angels, not just because of the action, but due to the stakes. There's a palpable sense of desperation in this episode, a feeling of time running out.
Image in the Sand/Shadows and Symbols, a compelling opener to season 7, and I got emotional at the final shot of Symbols.
