From favourite to least favourite:

Oti Mabuse - she has been on fire this year with her choreography and performance
Natalie Lowe - Queen of our hearts, loved her partnership with Greg this year
Aljaz Skorjanec - His bum is gorgeous as is his Ballroom dancing
Gorka Marquez - GONE TOO SOON. He managed to get more out of Anastacia then Brendan ever could.
AJ Pritchard - It's taken me a while to warm to him but he's definitely brought something new to the show
Giovanni Pernice - His choreography was on point with Georgia last year, this year he was good and could have been great with a better partner
Katya Jones - she choreographed some good comedy routines for Ed that also included some dance content
Oksana Platero - meh. I've not been bothered about her either way
Pasha Kovalev - I think he peaked in 2014 with Caroline. I haven't seen much passion in his dancing for the past two years.
Kevin Clifton - I find him the least annoying of the Cliftons surprisingly
Brendan Cole - I've never liked his attitude and I hate his choreography
Anton Du Beke - terrible dancer and a racist, what a wonderful man. Not.
Joanne Clifton - a voice like nails on a chalkboard, terrible choreography and an annoying partnership with Ore.
Janette Manrara - a terrible, terrible Ballroom dancer and choreographer. She's managed to choreograph one good routine in all her years on Strictly - and that was a rip of her SYTYCD audition.
Karen Clifton - absolutely detest this woman. She's a terrible choreographer, dancer and an attention seeker to boot. I've never been so pleased as when the grin was wiped off her smug face when Will dropped out. I hope she gets pregnant between this series and next so I don't have to see her on my TV screen.

I wanted to do the same as their teaching has to be different eg males taught to lead.

However, to the best of my somewhat amateurish, shallow ability and based mostly on choreography:

Oti
Natalie
Aljaz
Gorka
Kevin
Janette
Pasha
Katya
Oksana
Joanne
Brendan
Anton
AJ - (only because he will be limited to partnering young females for a couple of years yet.)

I've just done my list and cannot believe Giovanni is so high - I don't like him much. I don't have favourite pros so instead I did it on who's dances interest me, and he ended up there. Somehow. Gorka I haven't seen enough of, and I feel Joanne's choreography hasn't matched Ore's potential. I didn't really like the jive they did, which was high scoring. Sorry to Brendan, but he doesn't seem interested any more.

Quite impressed/startled that you're doing this, yohinnchild. I'd have thought you'd still be recovering from PTSD after all those 291-long lists.

I don't dislike any of the SCD pros - which is something I certainly can't say about Big Brother HMs!

15 is much more manageable than 291

1 Oti Mabuse - her routines have been amazing
2 AJ Pritchard - young, exciting, enthusiastic and has bought some great routines this year
3 Katya Jones - she has been great this year and like all the new pros seem to breathing new life into some tired looking pros
4 Oksana Platero - a great partnership and some good choreography
5 Gorka Marquez - probably would be higher if he stayed in longer and showed more
6 Aljaz Skorjanec - great at teaching, although is the only reason Janette is still here
7 Natalie Lowe - can choreograph well
8 Anton du Beke - his partnership this year was fantastic
9 Kevin Clifton - I want to see what he can do with someone who isn't that good
10 Giovanni Pernice - there's just something extremely arrogant about him
11 Joanne Clifton - very hit and miss
12 Pasha Kovalev - he's had his day
13 Janette Manrara - I don't think she is great at teaching or choreographing routines
14 Brendan Cole - not been great for a while
15 Karen Clifton - not a fan

Oti Mabuse - just fabulous in every way
AJ Pritchard - young and full of enthusiasm, bless him
Katya Jones - did a great job with unpromising material
Gorka Marquez - very endearing
Natalie Lowe - elegant ballroom dancer
Janette Manrara - makes me laugh
Aljaz Skorjanec - good dancer & seems like a nice guy
Karen Clifton- bit odd but I quite like odd
Pasha Kovalev - earnest and a teensy bit dull
Oksana Platero - not really formed an opinion yet
Kevin Clifton - wish him well but prefer his wife
Giovanni Pernice - really not sure about Joe Varney
Anton du Beke - oh Anton, never sing again
Brendan Cole - probably a nice guy but....
