Original, because OV sucks, ignoring the atrocious art style. The plot is inconsistent with the jumping between 11 and 16 yr old Ben. There's no clear-cut villain, and they got rid of Gwen and Kevin as protagonists after spending 2 seasons developing them.

AF the best by far, with UA not too far behind. AS took a new turn to the series, away from the lighthearted comedic nature and too a much more serious tone. It put Ben in a moral-dilemma role and forced him to grow up, and Kevin became the villain you love to hate, to the lovable rogue you once hated. They also introduced Prof. Paradox and Darkstar who are two of the greatest characters ever. UA wasn’t bad as it felt like the same series, but the Ultimate forms thing was a little ridiculous, and I wasn’t too fond of Ben soaking up the fame thing. If it weren’t for that then I’d probably put UA higher.
