1. Daredevil - This book is so, so good. Mark Waid and Samnee are killing it.
2. All New X-Factor - David's characters are great. Really enjoy every issue.
3. The Punisher - Nathan Edmondson is on fine form with this book. Superb stuff.
4. Magneto - Cullen Bunn is really impressing with this book. It's excellent.
5. Secret Avengers - A fun and awesome book that is one of Marvel's best.
HONOURABLE MENTIONS: Cyclops (left out because of upcoming creative team change), Moon Knight (also left out because of the creative team change), Hawkeye (left out because of it ending and the unpredictable release schedule), Avengers Undercover & Superior Foes of Spider-Man (Both Not caught up yet, and sadly both also ending soon),
1: New Avengers
2: Thor: God Of Thunder
3: Black Widow
4: Daredevil
5: Nova
1.Superior Foes of Spider-Man.
2. New Warriors.
3. Captain Marvel.
4. Thor God of Thunder.
5. Amazing X-Men.
1. X-Force -if it weren't for Fantomex, this would be close to flawless as an X-book. Kim and Molina are very good.
2. Ms. Marvel - an extremely potent example of diversity done well, feels like a classic in its own right, too. Kamala and her cast are very charming, Wilson gets what made the old Spider-Man work without just aping the surface details. The art is also very pleasing without turning into "eye candy."
3. Elektra - arguably the best art on a monthly today with fantastic atmosphere and a thoroughly badass lead.
4. Black Widow - also great atmosphere, with very consistent characterization and a slew of interesting cameos that don't detract from the strength of the lead. I like the episodic style.
5. Secret Avengers - quickly gaining momentum. I think in a few months, everything will come together and we'll be floored.
Yeah, Cyclops and Moon Knight would probably be up there if they weren't changing teams. Maybe after all the new people get settled in...
Honorable mentions:
-Captain Marvel.
-Thor: God of Thunder.
-Magneto.
-She-Hulk.
-New Warriors (shame that it's ending soon).
I agree with your comments about Secret Avengers, but I hope the book survives to finish the story naturally. It took a few issues to find it's footing, and I think
a lot of readers dropped it and never looked back. They wouldn't know how good the last few issues have been, and they have been excellent.
Factoring in quality + the published issue count by the same writer I'd say
New Avengers
Thor God of Thunder (on a bit of a hiatus, but still)
Daredevil
Uncanny Avengers
X-Force
And if I may, taking it to top 9:
Avengers
Captain America
Magneto
Moon Knight for those awesome 6 issues

Black Widow
Hawkeye
Elektra
Cyclops- worried about Rucka leaving
Moon Knight (Dropped when Ellis left)
New Avengers- thought provoking and different in scope and tone than any other Marvel comic
Hawkeye- a fun comic that really revels in the unique visual storytelling afforded by comics
Moon Knight- a solid re-purposing of a character done in digestible one and done issues
Avengers- high concept sci-if adventure
Uncanny Avengers- the continuation of Remender's Apocalypse story and a nice blend of the A and X franchises
Hmm...really tough to narrow down but here are mine in no particular order:
New Avengers
Moon Knight (Ellis issue, not sure on Wood yet)
X-Force
Ms. Marvel
Superior Foes of Spider-Man
Honorable mentions: Mighty Avengers, Magneto, Loki, Cyclops, Black Widow, and Elektra.

1. Daredevil
2. Elektra
3. Ms. Marvel
4. United States of Murder Inc.
5. Silver Surfer
(if we eliminate Icon books and go straight Marvel U, Iron Fist: The Living Weapon slides onto the list).
Hawkeye would be there except for production schedule. If it appeared regularly and Aja did every issue, it would be on the list. The Ellis/Shalvey Moon Knight would be too, but it's done.

Moon Knight would have been my #1, but with an entirely new team that I am somewhat skeptical about, it will have to re-earn my reverence.
1. New Avengers
2. The Superior Foes of Spider-Man
3. The Amazing Spider-Man
4. Daredevil
5. Thor: God of Thunder
Honorable mention: She-Hulk (it had a horrible fill-in artist for a couple issues, but it's getting back on track)
