I have to go with original Terminator.

3.It actually ended the story(There was NO reason why T3 shoudve been made!)

It is very debatable as to whether or not the first one ended the story. There possibly shouldn't have been a second movie.

4.It has the best action sequences and fight scenes (all done without the aid of CGI unlike the third movie)

It definitely has bigger action sequences than the first, but then, Arnold's life is never in danger. That fact takes away from a lot of the suspense. Kyle Reece, on the other hand, was just as mortal as Sarah Conner. That made the action in the first one a lot better, imho.

7.The whole bad guy becomes the good guy thing was first done in T2, so it feels more original and suprising than in T3 when they just do the same thing.To spice things up a little they couldve brought Arnie back as the bad guy again....

I didn't really like this. That's another reason why they possibly shouldn't have made a second. Seeing it a second time, in the third movie, made it even worse. Arnold was the best machine bad guy, imo. He rarely said anything. The T - 1000 seemed to hob nob with regular passerby a little more. (Arnold didn't do this. Reference the scene where he throws the guy off the pay phone. His job was to kill people, and it showed.) Plus Arnold actually showed the effects of the damage he took, and that was really cool. When they turned Arnie good, even he was talking too much.
As I stated above, I think the strongest point to the first movie (and subsequently, the point that puts the first up over the others) is that Kyle, the protector, was mortal. The audience feared for his life along with Sarah's, and he could have died at any point in that movie. With the other movies, everyone was quite certain that Arnie would live to the end. So basically you're guaranteed almost two hours of super action as one Terminator protects the humans against another.
Had they been able to separate Arnold from the humans a lot more, I think the suspense would have been better.
