[SPOILERS AHEAD]
On a visual level so far: Eldergleam Sanctuary, Bloated Man's Grotto and Blackreach.
Bloated Man's Grotto was nice, but there were only bears and a sabre cat in there, so not very challenging and not very big. First time in there was special though. Blackreach really amazed me but was - for me - definitely not the number one dungeon in the game for me, can't really say why.
Overall the best dungeon for me is Irkngthand.
You get the best of everything: an enormous Dwemer ruin, infested with bandits, denizens and traps. Then the lower levels with Falmer, breathtaking views, an amazing ceiling with tons of gems in it and various situations that were unique so far in the game. Think of eight Falmer together taking down a Centurion, small Falmer settlements you can take out in tons of ways, collapsing Dwemer bridges and towers while you pass and a great boss battle at the end in a flooding room with an enormous statue in it. Been awhile since I was there, but by far the best dungeon in the game. Especially the boss battle was almost Uncharted-ish.
