My big issue is just that its a long album. I couldnt listen to the whole thing in one go, which really broke up the flow.

This is why I didn't nominate Weirdest Hits for Sunspot - 77 minutes and 18 tracks is too much for this. And that's what's considered their "best" album, or at least has the most songs on it that they still play live.

My question, is this considered his best album or is it more of a Beatles situation where theres multiple contenders?

I personally say multiple contenders, but people usually say this one since it's sold the most. He also has Madman Across the Water, Honky Chateau, and Capt. Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy which also have their fans, and a small handful of people would say one of Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player, Tumbleweed Connection, or Too Low for Zero. I pretty much just listed the "definitive" list of his albums that have multiple songs you'd recognize (save for The Lion King but that's a soundtrack). He was releasing an album every 8-12 months in the seventies, so he has no shortage of good stuff.

But yeah, this one was the one to do first, because it has the highest amount of big hits (tracks 2-4 + "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting") and the album cuts are great too.
