It took rewatching Phantom Blood after Part 3 to somewhat understand his motives and why he even cared about torturing Johnathan. The whole "Devil luck made him born evil" thing was dropped immediately. In part 3, his charisma and the aura of mystery surrounding him made him interesting. His stand was also extremely cool.

Kars is sort of boring and underdeveloped, but he's cool. His power is kind of overlooked and nobody seems to understand that he cannot die under any circumstances, which is why Joseph was forced to put him in a fate that would bore him to no end.

Kira is realistic and was the first villain with a motive besides "I want power." I liked him. His stand is also one of my favorites.

Diavolo is a mafia boss and his stand is incredibly ugly and incomprehensible. Araki did a good job conceiving of his extremely complex stand.

Pucci is a DIO simp. Nothing else to say.

I don't know much about the AU since I'm waiting for it to be animated and I can't afford the manga. Protagonist? You mean antagonist? Also he was not DIO Yet in part 1, He was still Dio Ah crap, it was almost midnight and I mispelled.

DIO and Dio Brando are the same person, besides the fact that DIO has learned a bit about the modern world.
