The best I can do, I think, for now is to say that the seasons with the best story is Magiranger, while the most likable team is either Gokaiger or Go-onger. My overall best is probably Gokaiger.

Magiranger, as I've said previously, is a series of epic proportions, with villains on a cosmic, lovecraftian scale. Not only that, the struggles the team goes through are intense and believable, convincing you that these are heroes who sacrifice all to succeed.
Go-onger is a charming team with really lovable characters that stick to you with their own idiosyncrasies.

I feel I have to justify Gokaiger as my choice for best, and I'll say that this is because it is the one that does everything well enough, even if it isn't necessarily the best at everything. It may not have the best story, character development, team dynamics, villains or mecha design, but it does all those things well enough while other series have to sacrifice something to excel at another thing. For example, Shinkenger had a spectacular Red Ranger story arc, but lots of uninteresting filler in between. Go-onger had a charming team that was fun to watch, but a weak story arc. Magiranger had strong team dynamics and awesome villains, but no outstanding Rangers. Gokaiger remains the series that feels the most standard, the one that does everything well, even if it isn't outstanding in those departments. In fact, the weakest department of Gokaiger was the villains, and even those were sufficient to fulfill the series' needs, and many had their own shining moments. Plus, they had Basco.

That is why Gokaiger remains my favorite and the best example of Super Sentai in general. It also helps that it represents every Super Sentai team before it. It was the series that did almost everything right, the series with which I had no serious complaints.

Gokaiger had character development? Enlighten me.
