Comprehensive gene annotation for drosophila melanogaster

Question

[newscient]

Is there a trustworthy and so-called comprehensive annotation for drosophila melanogaster of all genomic regions in order to construct a TSS (transcription start site) database? Is it UCSC (by quering), modENCODE, flybase or ensembl that i should search for it? I am looking for something like the Gencode annotation for human/mouse preferably in gtf format (gencode.v19.annotation.gtf) which looks like this:

##description: evidence-based annotation of the human genome (GRCh37), version 19 (Ensembl 74)

Thanks for your suggestions!

Flybase should be authoritative resource for all things Drosophila.

Also flyDIVaS

EnsEMBL has an annotated Drosophila genome.
gtf files (and others) are available on the ftp site
