Rift has the best and most robust cash shop hands down.
There are 1000s of items listed in there with all kinds of types of currency from in-game to gold to pvp to raid, cash shop credits - the level of integration is amazing.
No other cash shop comes even close in terms of scope or integration that I have seen yet.
I do miss Rift but couldn't get into it after Vanilla. And yeah, I don't recall their Cash Shop being too bad.
I thought SWTOR had a decent Cash Shop. Mostly it was cosmetic or convenience stuff. Sure you could buy and resell stuff for game cash, but that really didn't get you stuff you couldn't reasonably play the game through to get without it. It did make sense to me to Subscribe though.

It is very good in that sense. They sell gear without the upgrades. It's the orange gear that you can upgrade as you level with in game currency.
They also let you sell stuff from the store on the GTN so it's a way to convert RMT, but seems to work well in that game and fits the Star Wars culture pretty good too.
The problem with the store is that it can be a nightmare to navigate and find exactly what you're looking for. That's a bit of an exaggeration, but compared to most other cash shops it's a little less intuitive and friendly. I don't visit it that much so it doesn't bother me.
I bought a few things I had collected a couple light saber designs. I had 2 of the pistols. The Sniper rifile. I have a couple of outfits. I bought Treek back in 2.x. She was a beast back then. Though I hear not so much now. I also have........... Aww C'mon man......now you are making me wanna play again!
Nice list - especially since the question is very generic ..
I've never actually played CO. I've meant to, but in my long laundry list of games I'm just out of available time slots.
I guess, to me, the OP question doesn't mean a lot. Do I like the game? Is the payment system acceptable and can I navigate the store? I don't spend a ton of time in the store, but I figured even if the OP was trolling a legit answer might be helpful to someone.
Yep, that was my first thought as well, if OP wants simply the best shop, I'll write up a list about speed, search option, item preview, option for bulk purchases or account unlocks, etc., even if I too believe the game itself is much more important than its shop But then your list was posted before.
For CO, I too skipped it for several years, just went back a few months ago, but it slowly turned into my exclusive 2nd level game during these months without I even noticed... so beyond my main games I haven't played anything else, when there's a downtime in TSW, or they f.ck up LotRO like they did with the Jersey transfer, I just fire up CO for some fun. Usually I used to rotate my 2nd level games too, so it's a bit unusual - maybe it's because I've missed so many years there.
And to be on-topic, its shop is like STO or Neverwinter, just not that "fresh" (actually by the looks it's pretty dated). It's quick, has the claims and the currency exchange integrated into it. Functional, but nothing extra or fancy, it's just a tool.
edit: like today, LotRO has yet an another maintenance to fix their issues, whilst CO has the Sky race event again (https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/champions-online/news/detail/9742443 ) So I'm having some fun there with lowbie heroes, because the race gives massive amounts of xp (and nice drops), too bad the free steamy bike can't really compete with the regular vehicles.
