You forgot about Lance Storm. But I forgive you.

I would say The Invasion... if only for the fact that Bret may have gained some sort of traction or ended up doing something worthwhile had he not gotten Goldberg'd. Granted, it would have likely been more about what Bret could do with circumstance and luck than actual booking and storywriting.

The Invasion, on the other hand, seems like it had a succession of let downs pertaining to the story iteslf. You don't really need to count the "bigger stars opting to sit out"- it became more about McMahon family drama than trying to establish the WWE owned wCw brand anyway, also choosing Buff Bagwell as the banner-carrier for a title match against Booker T., and having ECW join WCW instead of having a (pardon the pun) 3 way dance, Austin jumping ship, etc.

TL;DR - WCW just fucked one guy. WWE fucked up a potential money making endeavor which could have been a boon to a lot of underutilized, underappreciated talent.
