Usually, it's a mixture of emotional value, my overall enjoyment and the objective quality of the show. Some are higher despite not being the best just because I had tons of fun watching them, some of them are lower despite being very important for my "Sentai history" because I don't enjoy them as much anymore. While some of them change from time to time, the upper row has a certain order that stayed the same so far.

Atm, my Top 10 are these:
1. Goseiger (strong emotional connection)
2. Kyoryuger (from the year I came back to watching Sentai)
3. Toqger (so far)
4. Gekiranger
5. Go-Busters
6. Megaranger
7. Gokaiger (first Tokusatsu Cosplay)
8. Shinkenger (Sentai that made me return to the franchise)
9. Go-Onger
10. Magiranger (first Sentai ever)

I base it off the motif, the way the story is built up to the finale, and the rangers.

My top ten (in no order)
Shinkenger
Go-Busters
Dekaranger
Megaranger
Jetman
Hurricaneger
Gekiranger
Gokaiger
Go-Onger
Dairanger

For me it's not so much a top 10 but a top 3.

1: Gekiranger
2: Go-Busters
3: Boukenger

The rest of the shows I've watched(Jetman, Dairanger*, Magiranger, Go-Onger, Shinkenger, Goseiger, Gokaiger, Kyoryuger) vary in rankings depending on my mood and how recently I've watched them. For example I'd say Magiranger would be at #5 right now thanks to the recent LWW when it had been lower on the list these past few years.

*Dairanger I dropped at episode 25.

Friend!

I determine my favourite series by how much I like the 3-6 (or more) main Rangers, how much the theme (such as Magiranger's hope, or Gokaiger's heroism) means to me, and how much I love the designs for the season.

[Aoi Kurenai]

For me, the designs are nice as a bonus, but if a series is outstanding, I can enjoy a show with designs I don't like. (Goseiger) Someone else already said this, but any show that consistently makes me want to watch the next episode right away is one I'll consider a favorite. The ingredients to what I enjoy from a series vary from time to time, but the core is always that I enjoy watching the main cast of characters - though having a cool villain to hate is also a plus.

I tend to enjoy serialized stories over episodic ones, but if I enjoy the characters, any lack of a long running story won't bother me. I have to really like the people on screen to consider them worthy of being called favorites because, especially with Sentai, lead characters need to be engaging.

That said, these are my top 10 Sentai:

1. Kyoryuger
2. Kakuranger
3. Flashman
4. Changeman
5. Zyuranger
6. Jetman
7. Carranger
8. Gingaman
9. GoGoV
10. Goseiger
