I've just never found snakes to be all that cool*, I personally found Torterra to have the best grass starter design.

*Ironic, since one of my favorite Pokemon of all time is Milotic

One of my favorite Pokémon is also Milotic, so goodness, we agree on something.

Torterra was an underrated design. Many people didn't give him a chance but I thought he was a pretty cool concept with very interesting typing.

I may be accused of heresy for saying this but my least favorite Grass-starter design is Venusaur.

Eh, Venasaur is just an oversized angry looking warty Bulbasaur with its bulb open

Don't worry, I don't like Venusaur either.
And I loved Torterra's design. It's like "What if Venusaur wasn't ugly as sin."
Torterra > Sceptile > Serperior > Meganium > Venusaur
Blaziken > Charizard > Typhlosion > Infernape > Emboar
Feraligatr >>> Blastoise > Samurott > Empoleon > Swampert
My ratings of the starters taking only design into consideration.

Ooh, this is going to be fun, here's mine:

Grass
Serperior > Meganium > Torterra > Sceptile > Venusaur

Fire (almost the same as yours)
Blaziken > Charizard > Infernape > Typhlosion > Emboar

Water (hard one this, most are excellent)
Empoleon > Feraligatr > Samurott > Blastoise > Swampert

Several of my friends and myself all think fennekin might end up being fire/psychic or fire/ghost.

Well, I'm gonna rate my starters like this (saying it in card game terms):

Favorite Basic Stage Grass Starter- Turtwig
Favorite Basic Stage Fire Starter- Cyndaquil
Favorite Basic Stage Water Starter- Totodile

Favorite First Stage Grass Starter- Grovyle
Favorite First Stage Fire Starter- Quilava
Favorite First Stage Water Starter- Dewott (But I prefer it's Japanese name, Futachimaru)

Favorite Second Stage Grass Starter- Torterra
Favorite Second Stage Fire Starter- Typhlosion
Favorite Second Stage Water Starter- Samurott (again, prefer it's japanese name Daikenki)

I'm not in that camp. Those are just rumors with no real basis.

Basic Fire: Charmander
Basic Grass: Treeko
Basic Water: Totodile

First stage Fire: Charmeleon
First stage Grass: Servine
First stage Water: Croconaw

I adore the Feraligatr line. When I've played through various games multiple times and their remakes, I have never picked another starter in Johto other than Totodile.

As you could tell, I'm the same way with the Cyndaquil line

Another fun way to decide on favorites!

Favorite Basic Stage Grass Starter- Snivy
Favorite Basic Stage Fire Starter- Cyndaquil
Favorite Basic Stage Water Starter- Piplup

Favorite First Stage Grass Starter- Grovyle
Favorite First Stage Fire Starter- Quilava
Favorite First Stage Water Starter- Dewott

Favorite Second Stage Grass Starter- Serperior
Favorite Second Stage Fire Starter- Blaziken
Favorite Second Stage Water Starter- Empoleon

The Serperior line is probably my favorite, but I just can't deny that Grovyle is cooler than Servine.
