What is the best kind of pie to make for Thanksgiving?

Question

I am in charge of making one pie for Thanksgiving. My mother will be making pumpkin, apple, and I believe cherry. I don't want a fruit pie (strawberry, peach, blueberry, etc) But I want something sweet and good.

Pecan Pie is always good (and a winner too)!
