On a more serious note, I'm very partial to T. H. White's and the movie Excalibur's depictions of the character.
That said, if we can even say there's a definitive version of Arthur (we can't, by the way), I imagine Mallory's would be it.
What about Merlin (TV show) Arthur?
I think that one had the best interpretation of Morgana (though I only watched like three episodes, lol)

Once and always and nevermore.
Ah, but if you think of it, why not? More young people will have watched that than actually picked up The Once And Future King, or worse, Le Morte D' Arthur. You can say it was inspired by the aforementioned, of course, and it largely was, but it still did create its own unique spin on the tale.

The Merlin TV show doesn't seem to have left much of a legacy no matter how many people watched it. I mean, even among those who followed it, their first mental image of Merlin, much less Arthur, most likely won't be those from the series. It kinda was collectively forgotten as soon as it ended.
Non ironically speaking, Fate will actually likely leave a very deep and lasting mark on how the Arthurian mythos are seen in the Far East, by the time the dust is settled. It depends on how much the franchise keeps spreading before imploding. I doubt it'll ever do much to change the general Western audiences' views on the lore, though.
Here is a weird piece of fanon I've heard before. Some people have this idea that Shirou is a sociopath but isn't he almost complete opposite of how sociopaths are generally defined?
The reason they say that is how quickly Shirou just decides to kill people and feel no remorse over it. Like with Shinji in Fate.
I remember Koto used to talk about that scene a lot.
He never sleeps. He never dies.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.
