For the best Greek Hoplite, I'd go for the Weekend of Heroes Ignite special edition Spartan. What made it special was that it was weathered, came with two types of swords, a Lambda emblazoned shield, red colored cloak and tunic with black colored wave pattern, red crested helmet, and a faux leather gauntlets. There were only 300 of these made and they were pricey when first released.
If you can't find that version, I'd get the Leonidas figure. It was made in larger quantities so it's easier to find at a cheaper price. I'd shop around before committing to a purchase.
The regular Ignite Hoplite (blue tunic, Gorgon head shield) isn't very good. It has incorrect Greaves and tunic but if you're adventurous, you can hunt down some correct Greaves parted out from the later releases and hem the tunic to make it more accurate.
You will want to avoid the Hoplite II with Linothorax. I have one and the Linothorax armor is thin cheap and incorrect.
And it's also necessary to replace the bodies, I replaced most of mine with Hot Toys bodies.
The one on the left is a stock WOH Spartan, the middle one is the Leonidas with a Hot Toys Body and headsculpt, and the last one on the right also pictured individually, is the Regular Hoplite with a Hot Toys body and head sculpt, hemmed tunic, and correct replacement Greaves.
Here's a friend of mine's WOH Spartan on a replacement Hot Toys body:
Also, none come with the bases pictured.
Other then the Ignite Greeks, Dragon made a Alexander the Great in Linothorax armor. The Linothorax is much better but impossible to remove and place on a better body. The head sculpt and helmet aren't great either. None of it is made of real metal like the Ignite figures so it looks a little cheap, but can be found for around for a cheap $20 price anyways.
