The Hardy Boyz, no question about it. They got huge a couple years after I started watching and I followed them along for the entire ride. They were exciting, had a very cool, in, attitude-style look, and Lita was pretty sexy too. I became a huge mark for them after the E&C/Hardyz No Mercy ladder match, even more so after I saw Dudleys/Hardys Tables Match at Royal Rumble 2000, and then both TLC I and TLC II cemented them for me as my favorite tag team of all time. I really enjoyed their return a few years back as they had some absolutely great matches against MNM.
Even better is the fact that they both did very well after the split up (even if not right away). Matt's Mattitude character/storyline is still one of my favorite undercard storylines ever. The Matt Facts were brilliant and he made a great CW champion. His feud with MVP was also amazing. Jeff took awhile to gain ground as a singles competitor, but his match against Undertaker for the Undisputed Title on RAW, his incredible run as IC Champion with matches against Morrison and Umaga, and his World Title run and feuds with Triple H, CM Punk and Undertaker were amazing.
Matt vs. Jeff at WrestleMania 25 is also an incredible encounter - I just wish they had been given more time. But that finish with the Twist of Fate through the chair was fucking out of this world.
Too bad they've both wandered off into TNA land.
