Personally I think Gingaman, Timeranger, Hurricanger, Dekaranger, and Magiranger.

Gingaman is basically what Goseiger tried to emulate, with the rangers being from a secret tribe/civilization that still exists to this day sheltered from the outside world, and the fillers(at least the ones I saw) were fun with them trying to blend with said outside world.

Timeranger is fun and especially after Time Fire enters the show it gets more interesting(at least that was what I felt when I saw it long time ago).

Hurricanger is fun in that it is pretty much a re-imagining of Liveman but with ninjas. Heck, even the motifs are almost in sync(Hurricane Red is a hawk as opposed to Red Falcon being a falcon but both are raptors/birds of prey so it all works out), and even the Gouraigers are a nice nod to Black Bison and Green Sai in that they are horned animals. They start off with their school being wiped out by the bad guys as well like Liveman.
Shurikenger is a SUPER FUN character with them having sentai alumni being his alter ego every episode. Oh yeah, fun fact; Shurikenger is the second tsuika senshi following Dragon Ranger to be Green. And Shurikenger came out exactly a decade after Dragon Ranger so it is in a sense an anniversary tsuika senshi celebrating 10 awesome years of tsuika senshisat the time. Too bad Green Buster is not a thing(and yet Green Hippopotamus is a thing).

Dekaranger is a great nod to police drama shows(at least the Japanese ones for sure). Some say it has no overarching plot(and they are right) aside from Agent Abrella being the link, but that is intentional as they are paying tribute to the omnibus-style police dramas where most of the time they solve the case within an episode.

Magiranger was Fiveman 2.0 and a great marketing move by Toei and Bandai capitalizing on the Harry Potter craze at the time.
