Keep in mind that Hartnell (1) and Troughton (2) stories are from the 1960s and each story was roughly six episodes long, designed to be watched a week apart. With that said, for my personal picks for a great insight into the character, major moments, and relatively easy watches are:

Hartnell:
The Aztecs - companions learn not to try and change history, the Doctor gets engaged!
The Dalek Invasion of Earth - alternate future dystopia about Daleks who have invaded... Earth!
The Romans - Pure farce, just delightful.
The War Machines - kind of a prototype of the 3rd Doctor stories that themselves set the prototype of modern Who episodes.
The Tenth Planet - The first "regeneration", intro of the Cybermen.

Troughton:
The Power of the Daleks - Animated reconstruction of Troughton's first story. First post-regeneration episode, an all-time classic.
The Tomb of the Cybermen - The Doctor tries to stop a cult of logicians reviving the Cybermen. The frankly racist portrayal of Toberman is a downer on an otherwise excellent episode.
The Mind Robber - Wonderfully surreal story about the Doctor trying to figure out how to escape the Land of Fiction, where attempts to make use of the ability to "write" events into reality put you in danger of weaving yourself into the story and becoming part of that world forever.
The Seeds of Death - One of my favorites, the Doctor discovers a future utopian Earth's system of allocating plentiful resources globally instantly is about to be hijacked by Martians.
The War Games - 10 episode epic to finish the 2nd Doctor's run, introduces the Time Lords and marks the transition from the Black and White era into the color Third Doctor era of Jon Pertwee.

Doctors 3 to 5 mark the height of the show's popularity. The Doctor becomes a much more focal character and starts to become better known within the universe and actively sought out by beings of power.

Pertwee:
Spearhead from Space - a soft reintroduction of the Doctor, filmed in color and - due to a strike happening at the time - on film, meaning it has a full HD version available. Introduces The Autons, which would go on to be used by RTD to reboot the show in 2005.
Inferno - The Doctor finds himself trapped in an alternate reality doomed to destruction, with his own reality potentially facing the same fate.
The Dæmons - Doctor Who does Quatermass, which is everything anybody could ever hope for.
The Three Doctors - the first multi-Doctor story, featuring the wonderful double-act of Troughton and Pertwee. Hartnell is sadly mostly sidelined due to his bad health at the time.
The Time Warrior - introduction of the Sontarans, from a time before they were the comedy relief of the revival.

Tom Baker:
Genesis of the Daleks - somewhat retconned into the opening hostile act of the Time War from the revival series. A classic about the Doctor being sent back to the origin point of the Daleks to stop them from ever being created. Introduces the character of Davros.
Terror of the Zygons - The Doctor discovers a race of shape-shifting aliens have infiltrated Earth. They have a Loch Ness Monster :3:
The Talons of Weng-Chiang - An incredibly great story about the Doctor in Victorian-era London that is also sadly astonishingly racist in its portrayal of the Chinese, including the main Chinese villain being a British dude in "Yellow Face"
Horror of Fang Rock - Wonderfully atmospheric story set on a lighthouse with a small core cast.
City of Death - Doctor Who may very well have been at its absolute apex here, a fantastic story set mostly in Paris featuring time travel, masterpieces of art, a man with green spaghetti for a face.
State of Decay - The Doctor vs. Space Vampires!

Peter Davison:
Snakedance - it's cheap and can't match budget to its big ideas, but this is still a great story about the seductive power of an ancient evil.
Mawdryn Undead - The Doctor travels between parallel versions of the same history, trying to reconcile two possible futures.
Enlightenment - Sailing ships in space!
The Five Doctors - A big stupid and over the top and very, very fun multi-Doctor story, albeit with Tom Baker played by stock footage and a wax dummy, and the late William Hartnell replaced by Richard Hurndall.
The Caves of Androzani - A fantastically grim story that is one of Davison's best, but also his last. He stated afterwards that if he'd had more stories this good, he would have stayed longer.

Doctors 6 (Colin Baker) and 7 (Sylvester McCoy) mark where the show was starting to lose popularity, become far more associated with the painfully nerdy (moreso than before!), was looking increasingly cheap, and had the BBC seemingly actively working against them. There's still gold to be strained out of the muck, though.

Colin Baker:
Vengeance on Varos - After his first two stories were kind of disasters, this episode marks the first real look at the potential of Baker's Doctor, in a darker and more grimy universe that he angrily denounces, giving us some of what Colin Baker does best: get shouty.
The Two Doctors - the last of the "multi-Doctor" stories until the revival, features Six and Two (Troughton) running into each other in Spain while chasing down a Sontaran plot to unravel the secrets of time travel. Just great fun, the Six/Peri/Jamie combo just naturally slots together perfectly.

Sylvester McCoy:
Paradise Towers: - The Doctor finds himself in a fully automated space council tower where residents run in gangs, old ladies are serial killers, and Richard Briers hams it up magnificently.
Remembrance of the Daleks - The Doctor returns to the setting of the first ever Hartnell episode, putting into motion a complicated plan to have the Daleks wipe themselves out.
The Happiness Patrol - A thinly veiled anti-Thatcher/Conservative Government story.
Ghostlight - A roughly stitched together story that had far too much cut out to fit for time but is still oddly compelling, as the Doctor takes Ace back to the site of a "haunted house" that spooked her in her youth.
The Curse of Fenric - A great episode, the Doctor waltzes his way into a top secret military base during World War 2 and promptly forges authorization papers right in front of bemused scientists, as he tries to prevent an Ancient God destroying the world. That doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of what happens in this story.
