1 > 3A = 4A = 3B > 2 > 5B > 5A > 4B

Season 1 is obviously the best, it was pure magic.

I can't decide between 3A, 3B and 4A because every arc has equal pros and cons for me. I loved their take on Peter Pan, only the progress was too slow in Neverland and they could've done it more justice, especially set-wise. Also Ariel was finally introduced. 3B introduced Zelena and I love her so much. 4A was amazing to me, I loved how they incorporated Frozen and TO ME it didn't feel forced.

Next up I have Season 2 because I think it was pretty decent in the beginning, only the later arc (Greg and Tamara, duh) was messed up.

5B was very good and somehow I feel like I should've put it at a better position, BUT I was hugely disappointed by Hades. I loved the whole Underworld-concept, all the characters that were revisited, I lived for Zelena's redemption-arc finally kicking off (and ignored Captain Swan). But Hades, who seemed so great in the beginning, was a huge bummer.

5A was NOT good. The present day storyline was COMPLETELY boring. Everything about it was boring. The Camelot flashbacks on the other hand were amazing and that's where I really felt suspense and everything. Still.. not great. Also Merida did fit into the Camelot world, but I hated her.

Lastly 4B was a huge mess. I loved their concept of bringing 3 villainesses at once and I liked every single one of them. But with Rumple als functioning as a villain, it was too much. Because for me there wasn't enough backstory and the queens of darkness. I wanted a true Maleficent-Sleeping Beauty-episode, because we have been waiting for it since Season 2. Additionally the whole Lily-thing was so weird and somehow didn't make sense to me. I really disliked 4B the most. Although the backstory-episodes of Mal, Ursula and especially Cruella were great.
