"Top" is an awfully subjective thing, but in terms of scope, Paris-Origami (Caroussel du Louvre, 1998) and Origami Universe at the Chi Mei Museum (currently ongoing) are the broadest in scope, covering the largest number of artists and greatest diversity of works. Given that probably every artist has upped his/her work over the past 20 years and many new artists have come on the scene that weren't active in '98, I think the Chi Mei exhibition would probably take the cake; it is pretty darned impressive. >And have to say, I¹m really curious about the 1998 Xerox PARC exhibit.

I probably have a flyer or program in my files (hard copy), but not readily at hand. There was no exhibition catalog. It was curated, as I recall, by Marshall Bern (who, with Barry Hayes, proved origami is hard (NP-complete) in 1996), and was notable in being one of the few exhibitions to show many of David Huffman's original works (among other artists).
