I'd say it's kind of silly to put Cates' as the worst Hulk run yet considering it's not even finished and we're halfway through the second arc... but opinions I guess.

Anyway, here's mine;
Avengers
Best Hickman
Worst Remendeer's Uncanny Vol 2

Spider-Man
Best Ultimate Spider-Man
Worst Probably Brand New Day... or anything from the late 90's.

Captain America
Best Ed Brubaker

Hulk
Best Al Ewing

PS; Reading some other suggestions have brought back to my mind some awful runs that I had completely erased from my mind, so I've changed some of my options, majorly the worst choices.

[H-E-D]

Best Avengers run: Bendis
Worst Avengers run: Hickman (excluding New Avengers)

[Omega Alpha]

Best Avengers run: Bendis
Worst Avengers run: Hickman (excluding New Avengers)

So, it's the worst if you exclude half of it, including the most important parts? OK then.
