I have to agree with Jaymx. De Niro's performance as Jimmy Conway was fantastic. He was great the entire film.

I would have to say as well as my post for Jimmy Conway, best joint performance involving him would be with Pacino in Heat. I was gagging for that pairing and it didn't disappoint!!
He always always works well with Joe Pesci too!!
Goodfellas
Casino
Taxi Driver
Heat
Cape Fear
The Untouchables
Raging Bull
The Deer Hunter
The Godfather Part II
Sleepers
Jackie Brown
Cop Land

It was too hard for me to pick out his best performance...he's superb!

It's a tie between Travis Bickle in " Taxi Driver" and Jake LaMotta in "Raging Bull"

Im going with Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver. This was his best but all of his others have been awesome too.

Although he was really good as Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver, nothing is better then his performance as a ruthless training officer in Men Of Honor, he also gave a stunning performance as the demanding father in This Boy's Life
So i'd say hisbest is in Men Of Honor and his second best was in This Boy's Life

Travis Bickle- Just a tremendous performance
His performance in Cape Fear is pretty distant 2nd.
I thought the Godfather II performance was a bit overrated.

Michael Vronsky in The Deer Hunter. That character has a lot of contradictions and dimensions and DeNiro plays them perfectly.

There are so many great performances, it's impossible to pick just one. He was incredible in The Godfather Part II. I loved his small performance in Angel Heart. And he delievered the goods in Goodfellas and Cape Fear.

As soon as I saw this, Raging Bull jumpes into my mind, so I'll go with that: Jake LaMotta

It's hard to just choose one, but his best is his awesome performance in Raging Bull.

This would be my choice too, though I might give a slight edge to Taxi Driver.

Jake LaMotta is at the top of a brilliant list.
