Best artist: Lee (his works still definitive)
Best writers: Morrison + PAD (though expecting big things from Brubaker)

Best alt. X-Men: AOA or X-Men Evolution

Worst artist: Bachelo (its not style, its impossible to tell wtf is going on)
Worst writer: Tieri (if we're counting X-Spinoffs)
Worst story: Everything from Claremont since revolution, Particularly "Worlds End" - it combined EVERY worse aspect of Claremonts latest work.
Worst crossover: Maximum Security (kinda pointless)
Worst team: Claremonts Uncanny X-Men 444 + onwards team
Worst villian: Vargas
Worst alt. X-Men: Tieri's Weapon X (at least i hope that &*%£ wasn't in continuity)
