I put HBK vs Razor in a category all it's own when it comes to ladder matches. That was a brilliant singles match that just happened to involve ladders. It had great psychology and storytelling and is one of the best matches I've ever seen and a definite study of wrestling fans and aspiring wrestlers.
Then the Hardyz, Dudleyz and Edge and Christian come around and totally re-define what a great ladder match is and every ladder match since has basically chased that definition instead of the HBK/Razor definition (and the fact that they are almost always multi-man matches added to that reality. So when I say it's the greatest ladder match I've ever seen, I put it in that context.
I'll confess that I've never seen the NA championship ladder match, I missed that TakeOver, but I'll have to check it out.
