Pak40, definitely.
41-45 able to defeat the frontal armour of 90% of its opponents at normal to long combat ranges. Small enough to deploy/redeploy and conceal without too much trouble. Simple enough to manufacture and maintain.  Often misreported as an 88 by troops that came under fire in Normandy as it went straight through the shermans just like the 88s in the desert

88mm is started as Anti-aircraft gun and only later was employed as anti-tank.
Also British 17 pounder was a good AT.

I have to go with the British 6-Pounder, Could Penitrate ALL Italian tanks and Most German tanks, Panzer1-PanzerIV, in Africa, was a feared weapon.

Did not take long to perforate the armor of our tanks; it were the worst of the WW2.
I save only the 75-18 and 105-25 Bassotto (Dachsl).
With the other tanks (L6/40, M13-40, FIAT Armoured Cars 41),  you could pierce with the tip of a pen.

Pak43 88mm. The best use of it was shown in King Tigers, Jagdpanthers, Elefants and Nashorns.

I'm assuming we're talking about Towed AT guns....And its about overall usefulness/performance not just penetration/damage. Towed Pak43 was a big fail and 17prd was too big/heavy as towed ATG....which is why you neber saw the Panther gun made into an ATG

ZiS-3.
It shown its worth at Kursk, Germans useg it on Marders, more than 14000 SU-76 were build. But all 75 and 3inch AT guns were great at that time.

Yes we are talking about towed AT guns, i forgot to mention the parameters this time

mobility
rate of fire
AP
range
size
ease of deployment


Some of the guns u guys are talking about werent used as towed guns at all

I choose the 88. It was very long ranged, had a nice rate of fire, killer anti-tank, but not so good on mobility. Can also be changed to fight aircraft. It was used in many famous battles, D-Day, Market Garden, basically all of them.

They also were so good they went on Germany's heavy tanks, and I know you people like tigers .

So that's my choice. Range is very very important factor for a at gun. If you see the enemy first, its a good chance your win.

The flak 36 88mm cannon isn't the gun mounted on tanks. It is a different design and they just shoot the same size projectile.
