My state income tax was withheld for West Virginia.  In 2016, I lived 6 months in Ohio and 6 months in Montana.  I am now living in Montana.  I still own a home in Ohio.  I will be deducting moving expenses (from Ohio to Montana in 2017).  Which state would be best to file my state returns in

In order to get back the WV taxes that were withheld in error, you need to file a WV nonresident return.

Since you were a part-year resident of both Ohio and Montana, you need to file part-year returns for those states.
