It's Streetfighter Collection all the way for me. Streetfighter Alpha 2 is one of the best Saturn games ever and to have the previous two streetfighters included in the package is just amazing to me.
I absolutely love the King of Fighters series but my loyalties lie with 97'. 95 is probably my second favorite. Either way it wasn't good enough to take on Streetfighter but I prefer it to Megamix.
Fighters Megamix is too unbalanced that it actually does a dis-service to the Fighting Viper characters. Both franchises are better in their own games. There are some nice touches like hidden characters but only 4 of them are any good the rest are just awful. I also like the fact that VF2 characters have most of their VF3 moves.
SF Collection for me.

It has to be street fighter collection. Alpha 2 Dash is one of my favourites. I rate it as much as Alpha 3. No contest!
I dislike the virtua fighter style graphics of vipers, did at the time they were new, never liked 3-D fighters as much as 2-D. Not rating king of fighters either, have it for Neo Geo and Saturn and don't play either, it's a bit sluggish. I'm into 98 on NG. On the Saturn I'm liking 97 it's a good port, despite some flaws, but obviously rate the Neo version more.

Never played Saturn KOF95, so it would be unfair to vote for it. I preferred the later entries in the series anyway.
My dislike for the unbalanced nature of FMM is well known here. I love the concept but feel it could have been refined even more than it was. The unbalanced fighters are understandable given the different nature of VF2 and FV, but what about including simple things like customisable fighting tiers? The AI is incredibly cheap too, which makes playing the game feel like a chore. I dislike the truncated music tracks too, although understand this was necessary due to the limited space on the disc for CDDA. The VF3 moves are a nice addition, as are the different fighting modes, and a few of the hidden characters (Janet and Siba mostly). FMM is a mixed bag and I don't understand why people rate it so highly. Even Daytona CCE is better than this.
Like others have said, SFA2 is one of the best versus fighting games on the Saturn. Include an upgraded version of the game with two awesone versions of SFII and you have an essential purchase. The only thing I dislike about this collection is that the SFII music is CDDA rather than chip generated tunes. But at least it preserves their integrity. SFC gets my vote by a long way.

Kof95 is my most played kof game. They change the way the game plays in 96 but 95 is my favorite kof game and even tho I like street fighter as much kof was my game before street fighter.
I used to be terrible at street fighter coming out of mortal Kombat the way street fighter felt I wasn't used to it. Special moves confused me I was used to back back forward commands and such then when I finally got a Neogeo later on I didn't have a choice but to learn how these games play kof so after playing these for sometime able to go back to street fighter and play it.

I'd have to go with Street Fighter Collection. This is based on Alpha 2 alone as I don't actually have the full collection mind you, but I still feel it's the most polished and balanced game out of the lot. King of Fighters I never liked on the Saturn for the mid-battle load times and SNK's cheap final bosses pretty much always end up souring my opinion on their games by the end, although '95 at least has the shortest load times thanks to the ROM cartridge. Fighters Megamix is just a hilarious mess. Funny for sure with it's ridiculous unlockable characters and how stupidly unbalanced it is, but a good game? Not even close. It's hard to work up any kind of enthusiasm to get better at the game when just staying on the opposite side of the arena as Janet and repeatedly firing your gun works just as well, if not better.
