I wouldn't necessarily count the Bird/Magic card, because it technically wasn't a multi-player rookie. It was from an entire set that was produced in strips of 3 cards. Basically, while being connected, each individual card is still it's own entity and is numbered as so.. I will not argue with the fact that complete panel is a great card though.
Anyways, my vote goes for the '82 topps Ripken. Not just because it was a great card, but also because without it, we wouldn't have the '82 Topps Traded Ripken, which is an absolutely great card. I've always liked when multiplayer rookie cards resulted in a player getting his first individual card in the same year's traded set...'76 Willie Randolph. '81 Tim Raines and Fernando Valenzuela cards, '82 Ripken, so on and so on. Multi-player rookies also led to the '78 Burger King Tigers set being quite nice. The Jack Morris, Alan Trammel and Lou Whitaker cards are great, and would be somewhat irrelevant, had these 3 not appeared on multiplayer cards in the regular Topps set.

Probably not the best, but don't forget the '65 Catfish Hunter/Johnny Odom card. One of my favorites.

If you're just talking baseball, I'd go with Nolan Ryan/Jerry Koosman. But yeah, I think Bird/Magic takes the cake if you're talking all sports.

I like the multi-player rookie cards because I get a perverse kick out of seeing the otherwise "common" players whose biggest claim to fame, through no fault of their own, is having been designated a "future star" by Topps along with someone who really, no foolin', did become a star, to the extent that "star" is an understatement.
In that sense, my favorite multi-player rookie card is from the 1982 Topps set. It features Bob Bonner and Jeff Schneider...   ...but is perhaps best known as the rookie card of Hall of Famer Cal Ripken, Jr, baseball's "Iron Man" of the modern era.
