Across every platform I've played this game on i think my favourite is probably PS2, or the Maniax Chronicles version with raidou since i like him more than dante. I've beaten this game a ton of times and each time I find myself noticing more and more that bugs me with it. it use to be my favourite of all time but i think that's gotta be DDS1 and DDS2 tied now. Nocturne is still my favourite mainline SMT game without a doubt but it's definitely flawed in the sense that the game is difficult to navigate without some sort of guide or previous SMT knowledge. I also find that the game's limited number of viable demons has each play through feeling similar to the last. later games mostly fix this issue with i think SMTV being the best in that aspect overall (might be the only thing that game is the best at) but honestly nocturne is still one of my favourite games of all time because of the way it plays and sounds and looks. It really resonates with me.
