Blackest Night.
Blackest Night: This was a great event that was a part of Johns' equally great Green Lantern run.
Flashpoint: A good end to Johns' great Flash run.
Forever Evil: I liked it.
Overall, I think Blackest Night was the best. But, I liked all of them.

I wouldn't say this is weird, at least as far as fan opinions go. I always got the sense of that from you from your general opinions on certain characters/stories.
Personally I'm someone who's pretty invested in both heroes and villains, if not to the point where I'd pick up a solo book starring villains most of the time, so I enjoy well-developed and utilized villains and Rogues Galleries .
I think I like all three of them but I really enjoy Geoff Johns writing. I think I like Flashpoint the most because it is a cracked mirror version of all these characters and what the DC Universe could be like it is Wonder Woman being the most warlike. Aquaman being the most imperalistic. Superman seeing the worst of humanity. I also really like it because it crosses over with Booster Gold at the time and when Flashpoint happens you see him desperly trying to stop it and figure out what is going on and he is the only character who remembers the main timeline besides Barry.
Blackest Night....
Shame Brightest Day wasn’t about the rebirth of the DC universe and bringing everyone and everything back.
Can I vote for Infinite Crisis? I wanna vote for Infinite Crisis!
Flashpoint is decent but the movie adaptation is better for trimming the fat and rounding out the story. I was disappointed with nearly all of New 52, so Forever Evil doesn't rank. And I really didn't like the goofy, emotionally abusive zombies from Blackest Night, but I thought the GL series tie-in issues are even better than the main book, so that'll be my pick between choices.
