Is it Superman, Batman, Flash, Wonder Woman, JLA, Green Lantern, Legion of Super Heroes, Teen Titans or some other hero or group?
Also, list your favorite rogues once you name the hero/group.

Batman first, then The Flash is second.
(I'm not going to bother naming the favorite rogues for both of them.)
1. Batman
2. The Flash
3. Superman
4. Wonder Woman
5. Captain Marvel/Shazam
6. Green Lantern
Third this. I'd say Batman, Flash, and Superman are the only properties that have really strong rogues' galleries.
Leaving out teams, here are my rankings for the top 10...
1. Batman
2. Flash
3. Superman
4. Green Lantern
5. "Shazam" (I hate calling him that)
6. Wonder Woman
7. Aquaman
8. Green Arrow
9. The Atom
10. Hawkman
There's your list. Our top 3 are the same so atleast we agree there. The rest is different though, but I get your reasoning.
I put Wonder Woman ahead of Green Lantern because her big foes are more appealing to me than GL's. Cheetah, Ares, Circe, Giganta, Psycho and Cale are some good villains.
As for Shazam and Aquaman, I feel they're pretty much on par with one another. Both have a great villain (Black Adam vs Black Manta), a decent villain (Dr Sivana vs Ocean Master) and one with potential (King Shark vs Mr Mind) but then it's a steep drop off.
Lastly, I feel Firestorm and Blue Beetle have a stronger rogues gallery than Green Arrow, Atom and Hawkman. The latter group doesn't have a Killer Frost or Black Beetle equivalent.
Done with DC. Can't handle the constant whiplash! Time to go on a hiatus!
I don't disagree with you. It's a matter of personal taste and also of me having read so many comics in the 70s-80s when the villains that fought GA (Count Vertigo, Clock King), Atom (Floronic Man, Chronos), Hawkman (Shadow Thief, Gentleman Ghost) were much more significant than they are today.
Firestorm was a major omission for me and probably belongs in the 8 spot. Not disagreeing about Blue Beetle. I just haven't read much of the Jaime Reyes version so I only know his villains from YJ. Black Beetle is a great villain on YJ. I wouldn't know how he fares in the comics. I did love the Madmen that fought Ted Kord though.
A bat! That's it! It's an omen.. I'll shall become a bat!
