Yes I love the 'Deth! My live experience with them was last year for the United Abominations tour, Mustaine and co actually passed through Norwich, played the tiny student union... it was truly something to behold. They stormed note-perfect through all the classics and cuts from the new album (which I really enjoyed). It was a humbling experience and was my de facto metal gig (I don't go gigging that often anymore)
it's funny you should start this thread now, I had googled Megadeth this morning for some reason and was summarily underwhelmed by the new single (or maybe it was just the tacky promo video)... also there's a recent Mustaine interview I won't sully the thread by embedding, he seems to have suddenly aged significantly and is in full diva-bitch mode, the entire interview is about Metallica and how James Hetfield once kicked his dog... Depressing to watch =/
Fave album... I have got time for almost all of them (concur with your Tore that System is underrated), but it probably comes down to the obvious ones, the 'Peace' albums. 'Youthanasia' is great too.
