"The Tennis Song" belongs in "Cringeworthy" if you ask me, but I suppose it also meets the criterion here. (I'm not a prude. They can sing about orgasms for all I care. It's the lame attempts at double-entendres that embarrass me.)
I'll add "Where Would You Be Without Me?" from ROAR OF THE GREASEPAINT
"You're Just in Love" from CALL ME, MADAM
"Sue Me" from GUYS AND DOLLS

Maybe not the best, but I've been listening to "Sonya & Natasha" from Natasha et al on repeat lately.

I figured we'd gone beyond "best" and were just listing confrontations we've enjoyed.
As for "best" there's only one possible answer: the confrontation between Queen Elisabetta and Queen Maria in Act III of Donizetti's MARIA STUARDA. It is grand opera verging on high camp, as Elizabeth I seemingly sentences Mary Queen of Scots to death for singing a higher note. Not even Frank Butler does that!

How about "An Old-fashioned Wedding," from one of the Annie Get Your Gun revivals? It's similar to the "Call Me Madam" contrapuntal duet.
Audrey, the Phantom Phanatic, who nonetheless would rather be Jean Valjean, who knew how to make lemonade out of lemons.

"Old-Fashioned Wedding" was written for the 1966 revival. It certainly fits the criteria here.
As does the reprise of "Agony" from INTO THE WOODS (the two princes are fighting about who has it worse).
