My Vote is M2 Bradely
I was light infantry and never served with mech so take my opinion for what it's worth. I know many of western IFVs are high quality (Warrior, Marder, etc) but I really don't know enough about them. The M2 has proved itself over and over. Now, most recently in Ukraine. I think the M2 would do even better with experienced and trained crew working in a true combined arms environment- and I say that with all respect to the Ukraine armed forces punching way above their weight.
The BMP-3 seems to be the only IFV that is comparable to the M2 on the WARSAW Pact/ USSR side for the T2K time period, and I can say that with some knowledge.
LAV 25 a close second!
