The 77 design is best for me. This is a little tougher than other decades, because I like the 76 set almost equally.
I like the team name across the top and this set has a decent number of action shots. The AS banners add to the cards, as do the trophies. I also like that it has some (but not too many) playoff cards and the TBC subset and continues the multiplayer rookie cards, which I have always liked as well. The Garvey card is still probably my favorite of his cards as well as the set itself and others like Staub, Seaver, Tanana, Fidrych and Rose are just cool cards.

1975
Since you asked about the best of the '70, I'll go with 1975 "today". If you ask me tomorrow it may be the 1971 set since I go back and forth on which I like better. Also, again, I like them all, but these are my favs from the '70's.
Donne...it's got 1975 in italics?!?

For me, '71 is a nightmare due to its black borders, and anything beyond 1973 belongs in a separate category because of its lack of series distribution, so I am happily hitting the '72 button...

Agree with Jolly, the 71 set just looks crummy unless in really nice shape, then you have to worry about if the card was "doctored" with a black pen, etc... Overall some really nice sets from this decade. 1970 has some great backs, easy to read and very colorful, cartoon, etc. 1972 is a huge set, but a classic that has a colorful and unique look. I don't love the darker backs that are found on the 71, 74, 76, & 79 sets. Harder to read. Finally, I know it's dopy, but I fell that 74 and 79 are missing something without the rookie all star trophy cards. When I was in like sixth grade, I thought those were the coolest cards in the world. I think I traded a Mattingly Rookie for the 1966 Tony Perez and I was happy for like 7 weeks.

1975 is the easy choice for me. Those color combos are so disco, you've got a great selection of Hall of Famers, two trophy bucks and even a couple other "minor" RCs.
These things just scream 70s in every way.
