From best to worse:

Ben 10: I'm probably being blinded by nostalgia but this is a personal list. Second best soundtrack of the franchise, great villains and best designs. Ben was an interest character in the sense that even though he acted like an arrogant goof (and was on many occasions) deep down he was a true hero who deeply cared for his family and the safety of others. My complaint with the show is how convenient everything was. Ben would show up whenever some world destroying disaster would happen by sheer luck. He goes to a carnival that just happens to have a vampire clown in it. He goes to a mall that just so happens to be the target of a hypnotist. You get the point.

Omniverse: best soundtrack in the franchise, great plot lines, epic villains and the tone is good mix of funny and dark. Sadly, I hate the new looks but I got past it after a while. I'm also against Kevin and Gwen getting demoted to side characters but Rook isn't too bad. However, the series made many good calls like ending Ben X Julie, giving the Plumbers more focus and expanding on the Ben 10 universe.

Ultimate Alien: This one is only barely better than AF. The only thing that kept me watching was Kevin. It had plenty of episodes that were great, but the arcs were pretty dumb and for every good episode was a terrible one. The crowning moment of stupidity was the trash island episode. By running in a circle Way Big creates a tornado that blasts the monster out of orbit and into the sun? This was also one of those episodes where the only thing keeping me through it was Kevin.

Alien Force: So much was bad. Ben maturing was nice. Kevin joining the team was great. The darker tone was also kinda nice. However, there was too much focus on the "dark" part of the show. The last season was all but pointless. Ben was going back to his immature and arrogant ways but this time it wasn't funny anymore. Granted, he had a good reason: now that he's had the Omnitrix back for an extended amount of time it's started going to his head, but that didn't make it less annoying. Kevin wasn't as funny as he was in UA so I couldn't even get laughs out of him and the Highbreed arc just didn't interest me. This makes it the worst ever.

That's just my opinions though. If you love AF and hate the original, I'm cool with that.
