Tough to rank I like all my classic sterns (Sans split second)
My favorite ruleset is Big Game but not a huge fan of the stacked flippers so QS wins top spot for me as it is in your face, simple yet challenging, cool bonus meltdown effect, great placement of drop targets. QS also has a home rom which resets bonus X after every ball which helps balance the rules a bit.

Quoted from DrJoe:Not sure why Nine Ball gets so much love. I had a real nice one and it wore thin on me fast. Stern never got multi-ball games right in my opinion.
This is true. At least the home rom offers 2x & 4x scoring. 9B is probably my least played classic Stern though I do like the design.
