Syrian and Iraqi dialects are definitely the closest to MSA. Iraqi dialect is probably the one that respect MSA's grammar rules the best, due to the fact that the most influential grammar schools (Basra and Kufa) were based in Iraq.

I heard that to find out where people from, you don't ask where they are from, you ask them which dialect they think is closest to MSA. Ha ha. My teacher says the bedouin in Iraq speak Classical Arabic.
