Who gave the best performance as The First?

The First is kind of like Lucifer in Supernatural, only in that it's a character that has dozens of different faces and therefore gave lots of different actors a chance to put their stamp on it, though in both cases there was one actor, ironically Sarah Michelle Gellar herself in this case who became most associated with it. Question is however who do you think was the best?

Well I'm going to say Robia LaMorte. I honestly wish she had become the main face for the First. I understand that they couldn't get her again as she didn't like playing basically the Devil. Shame as she was so perfect. The right blend of seduction (though not in a sexual way) and sneering contempt. It was also brilliant after Passion watching David Boreanaz be the one she was relentlessly tormenting haha.

I'm sorry to say but I never really liked Sarah as the first. I thought she was too flippant to be honest and too sarcastic. I appreciate that she tried to do something different and not just make it a copy of Buffy. Juliet Landau for instance just made it 100 percent Drusilla. I understand why as it was cosplaying as Dru, but again when you look at Robia, from the start there was something different to Jenny. James I also thought was actually really good at the First, and similarly didn't just make it a carbon copy of Spike, but sadly he didn't get much screen time in the role.
