Definitly not Emma. Putting aside the situation with Cruella (which even being justified still taints the heart somewhat), you have all of her street rat actions from growing up (including stealing her beloved bug) to consider.

Also, the darkness itself may be gone, but that does not free her from her actions as the Dark One. She ripped out the heart of her son's girlfriend, which actually puts her in the same league as Cora (though not fully, since Emma didn't kill Violet, just controlled her), and that was before she had succombed to the darkness. And she sped up Zelena's pregnancy and threatened cold blooded murder.
