I voted San Andreas, really overall IV would come first for me. However with R* taking a very different route with IV I have to judge it seperately.
The reason I voted SA is because I just feel like they got the balance right. The story was apart of everything else in the game, it tied together with everything. In some ways while playing IV I felt like the story was completely seperate from everything else. In SA the gangs were around, the casinos were around, people who relied on your sucess in the story. The theme of the game was perfect, it not only captured the 90's LA gang scene perfectly but it was really gripping with a balance of fun missions and really personal ones that made you care about what you were doing. Scenes like where you're reunited with Sweet, it was a big deal. Or in the last mission, you had built up to that moment throughout the game and it was satisfying and felt worth it. So I chose SA because I feel the story complimented everything that was great about the game.
IV's story was epic, even on it's own without everything else. I could happily read IV's story as a book or watch it as a movie. The struggle as an immigrant chasing a dream that doesn't exist, it was perfect. It was gritty, it was challenging, and you didn't always walk away feeling like a boss. You suffered the consequences. IV wasn't glorifying being a criminal, you worked your way to the top - which left you in a no better position than when you started. There was no rags to riches, there was a realistic look on crime and the suffering involved. What was especially great about the story is that Niko came to LC to escape his violent past and escape his enemies, not to create new ones. He was a reluctant criminal and that made it all the more gripping for me.
I really can't truly criticise any R* storyline, GTA or non GTA. They never dissapoint me, but those two really stand out.
