Saying the 90's were the peak for electronica is like saying the 50's and early 60's were the peak of rock music, when really, thats when things were just starting to ramp up.
Unless of course you're counting the early 90's dance songs but that really seems like its own genre... Are you going to include these two under the same umbrella?

I would agree the early 00's was incredible but the 90's can't be overlooked. Dance music is really to difficult to label. Far too many genres Ambient, Trance, Electronic, Drum and Bass, House, Techno just to name a few.
Some of my personal favorites of the late 90's -00's would be Tiesto, Fatboy, ATB, Crystal Meth, Benny Benassi, Faithless, Paul Oakenfold. Etc.
