Overall I think Pepin is my favorite maker. It's tough to rank them exactly, but I'll try putting them into 3 classes.
My top favorites:
My Father, especially the smaller RG like the corona and lancero. Spicy, peppery, awesome
My Father Le Bijou, again I really like the smaller RG the best. Sweet, rich, earthy and creamy
Flor de las Antillas, toasty, cedar, some lighter pepper and spices
Always tasty:
El Centurion
Jaime Garcia and Jaime Garcia Sur Oeste
Cuban Classic
La Antiguadad (these are strong)
Ok, but not in my rotation:
Blue Label - I liked the first couple I had, but everything listed above is better
La Duena - gritty and earthy, only smoked one and had construction issues, and I've never gone back to try again
My Father Connecticut - tasted grassy and thin to me
I think I've smoked a JJ, but I can't remember 100% and don't have an opinion on it.
