Mason Ryan and Drew Gulak for the face sculpts alone.
KENTA so you can turn him into a Shibata.
PJ Black ... err Justin Gabriel for the kick ass black and green boots and awesome face scan you can turn elite.
There's a few other Basic heads to swap out with their elite counterparts too. Styles and Nakamura come to mind.

Basic Tensai looked better than the elite. I enjoyed the Summerslam heritage Punk, even though that should have been an elite.

I've got a handful of Basics that I quite like.
NXT Takeover Tommaso Ciampa (first figure for Ciampa) NXT Takeover Johnny Gargano (first figure for Gargano) NXT Takeover Andrade Cien Almas (don't think they ever reused this head sculpt, and I like it a lot) Series 56 Hideo Itami (I know he got an NXT Basic as well, but I like this head sculpt better) Series 95 Sonya Deville Chase Variant (I like this attire more than any of her other figures) Series 103 Matt Riddle (tbh, I still like this look a bit more than the Elite, so I'll probably just stick with it) Series 104 Keith Lee (had to get his first figure, haven't decided if I'll upgrade or not yet)

Takeover Phoenix Gargano is the only one I own and I love it.

The Hogan basic which was pretty much a basic of his defining moments and Hogan's entrance greats are top notch. That being said, the modern Hogan basics were not that good.

The most recent Carmella basic is really really good. The chase as well, feels like two different figures and looks great!

The NWA style Flair in the suit and glasses is a big want of mine, so whilst im here, if anyone has a spare and wants to take pity on a UK collector, HMU

Well, as far as the women go anything before they dumbed them down is pretty good. The original women's basics were more or less elites.
But some in particular
Alicia Fox B23 Beth Phoenix B21 Emma B49 Natalya B61 Nia Jax B72 Sarah Logan B101 (Only one we got) Carmella B106 Both of Dana Brooke's Basics are pretty good Any of the suited Stephanie McMahon Basics (They're all repaints)
Battle Packs
Beth Phoenix BP1 Brie and Nikki Bella BP43 Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss B60 (They're unique and represent an important moment) Zelina Vega BP62 (It's her only figure so far) Lita and Trish BP64
There are others that I don't have access or reference to, but out of this whole lot, I'd say that B23 Alica Fox is the biggest winner of them all. It's hands down the best figure they made of her and with a touch of dry brushing on the fur hood, she's perfect and easily passes for Elite quality. Heck, I did that and I wouldn't even bother with the Elite we got. (I hate branded attire) The second biggest winner (at one point) was Nia Jax but then they went even further with her Elite and now my Basic Nia is in a box.
There were certain really good Mens ones but I'm not as good with them so I won't discuss them. Out of the one or two I do own though, that RAW GM Foley is pretty nifty. I also appreciate the "Triumphant Return" Shane figure effort, but the end result was meh and I'm looking to do a fixup. Finally, the suited, Battle Pack HHH figure is an easy go-to for a suited figure. You can very quickly make a "Papa H" figure with a head swap and, if you don't mind the scale being a bit off, a quick repaint and a head swap give you a suited Vince figure. S'what I did for my set up anyway.
