IMO Part 7 and 8 are the best parts. They feel like the best verison of other parts imo. Like part 8 has the setting and the more slice of life and family feeling about it from DiU but it has the more orgnised crime aspects with rock humans and the fruit and the brutalness of some of the stand battles from part 5. You also have the uncovering a mystery thing like in DiU. While in part 7 you have the continent traveling, hunting for items (clues for dios whereabouts and then for dio himself in SDC) and the race (a race against time in SDC) from SDC, the kind of power mastery thing from part 2 and best version of the JoBro from part 1. This might have had something to do with the switch from shonen to seinen since araki can now tackle more mature subjects and doesnt have to be drawn into that fight of the week stuff that happened so much in previous parts or hes constantly getting better as a writer or both. Im currently liking Part 8 more than part 7, but thats just because imo part 7s start was abit of a slog and some stand battles were meh and the funny valentine stuff at the end got abit too chaotic nd confusing. As for original universe in my opinion it goes, from best to worst, 4-5-3-2-1.

Although DiU's plot at the start was mega all over the place with why antagonists were attacking and akira's whole plot made no sense and they probably should have just made angelo the guy who was making all the stand users to protect himself or something like that. maybe showing a contrast of how kira ust wanted a quiet life and angelo wanted to cause havoc. But every episode still had alot of character development and it felt like alot of the antagonists were a means to get to the character development and the story only moves along in the kira arcs. I loved the small town setting and it was by part my favourite.

GW is a JoJos mafia story, its good and has some awesome characters in and fixed DiU's problem of useless villain of the week. Every antagonist in GW i remember being pretty well developed and enjoyabled. The Hitman squad being my favourite group of antagonists in JoJos yet. I dont like Giorno much and hes probably my 2nd to least fav JoJo (JoBro, Jotaro, Joseph, 4 Balls, Josuke, Giorno, Jonathan), Bucciarati is the main character and you cant tell me otherwise. He just seems like hes an already complete character before the series even starts, his character arc all happened in his flashback. He more just enables everyone elses character growth. I thought polnareff being in the story was abit pointless and made abbachios whole last act of discovering the face of the boss for the gang and then polnareff is just like "he i can tell you who it is ure looking for and what he looks like". Its probably better than DiU but i enjoy DiUs setting alot more and everything to do with kira was like pinnacle of JoJos for me.

Stardust crusaders was too villian of the week for me and some stand fights were just dumb. but it was just kinda a fun road trip movie with cool fights in at each stop. was fun but far from the best part and was very lacking in the story wise in my opinion was its story probs being one of the weakest.

BT was completely held up by Joseph and The pillar man imo, suporting cast was pretty weak. was fun, I enjoyed all the ass pulls and looking back on it was a vision of how crazy and ass pully so fights can get in the later parts.

PB was pretty enjoyable if not abit slow at points. I loved the idea of someone slowly coming into the comfort of your home of luxury to slowly steal your life and happiness away from you was fun. Dio was really fun, I'd seen the memes before the show but nothing could have prepared me for it.
