Sam Fisher's, not just for the final stab, but its sheer build-up. For about a minute, Snake and Sam, both on the brink of death and extreme tire, give it their all in a final duel that establishes Snake's superiority in combat, resulting in Sam's head getting stabbed.

The most satisfying deaths were Knuckles', Darth Vader's, and Batman's, since, while those three are cool in their own right, their opponents, Donkey Kong, Dr. Doom, and Spider-Man respectively, are among my favorite fictional characters.
