Yeah, I like Strider NES, but that's just insanity. People let nostalgia get in the way sometimes.
I'm also a firm backer of arcade Ninja Gaiden over NES, but that's a trickier comparison and we've been over the fact that most people just didn't understand how arcade NG was meant to be played.
I'll never understand the Contra one either. Contra NES is impressively close to the original, but as far as improvements go, I don't think it was even trying.
