Upgraded hammer.

An upgraded hammer and lower power hammer spring are essential for me.

Springs. Easiest and cheapest way to improve a CZ.

I think you should have included polishing the action parts. Maybe I'm old school but it can make a big difference. Not a big topic anymore but polishing and reprofiling the stock hammer use to be the BIG thing and you could get amazing results. Not as good as a CZC or CGW hammer, but close.

Agreed......I too polish all my actions, not to a mirror finish but even a a few passes through a buffing wheel for each part makes a discernible difference...... I will add your suggestion to the list

That encompasses a few of the specific options listed......though having all the options would be desirable or maybe even optimal, just trying to see what folks thinking is on their one most favored upgrade.

Its the hammer.  Eliminating the cam of (most of) the  stock hammers out there makes the trigger feel so much better!

The very first inexpensive, easy and important upgrade for me was to change the spring weights.
A  better hammer was the most significant for a clean break.

UPDATE: JMHO,   The real story is that no one thing is best to see all the real improvements to make the 75 CZ a truly great SA/DA pistol:
If I were doing step by step upgrades  maybe based on money outlay,  this is what I'd recommend:
1. Polish everything (free or +cost of polishing materials),  and install a Competition or Race hammer with the CGW floating trigger spring and adjustable sear to make it simple to DIY.
2.  Install the old style 85 trigger and an extended firing pin, install lighter hammer and recoil spring (suited to the ammo you shoot "most often)
3.  Install a short reset disconnector.

Leave the firing pin safety in place.  With careful polishing and the above upgrades,  removing this safety item  gets insignificant  improvements. 
You decide what's most important to YOU with YOUR CZ

I like the reduced power main springs I put in mine. They weren't low enough to need longer firing pins, or other modifications, but they did reduce and smooth the trigger pulls enough to make a perceptible difference I can feel.

IMHO, replacing the hammer yields the most improvement in the action.  All my CZ's have either a Competition or Race hammer.
