Pre-Decade it's probably Kabuto for me. Ryuki had the better characters overall (and a glorious trio), but I felt like some of the 13 Riders were more cannon fodder than anything else. With Kabuto I feel like most, if not all Riders had an everlasting impact on the course of the story and stuck around to the end.

Post-Decade I'd go with Ex-Aid. Gaim is my favorite show of the era (duh) but I feel like as an ensemble cast it had its weaknesses because some characters heavily outshined others.

Drive had a good ensemble cast too since Shinnosuke, Gou and Chase were equally important and interesting throughout the show, but I think Ex-Aid takes it. Mostly because in the sense of a hospital drama the focus shifts from one doctor to the next but they still have relevance as a team.

And it's one of the few shows were I would include the bad guys in the ensemble cast as well since the show was very good with handling Genm and Parad so far. Granted, past shows could do that too, Ryuki did a great job with Asakura IMO, but in Ex-Aid I really feel like the whole package matters more than pushing a single hero.

And of course I like plenty more casts of other shows, but most of them only have two (or less) Riders so speaking of an ensemble cast isn't very realistic IMO.
