I can't choose between s2-5, all of which I think are great with significant flaws. However, s3 would probably be slightly my least favourite of those four (s1 is last). I am not a fan of Noel Murray's take on the franchise overall though (I mean, I disagree with many of his recaps etc.). The Fred thing is weird -- like, I like Fred, but how does Fredless get "ten best/most representative eps" placement for "Fred is in this one a lot!" reasons? I love "Lullaby," and "Waiting in the Wings," and the Holtz-Wesley-Connor plot is epic, and Connor's return in the last few eps, but Angel/Cordy largely fails, the Cordy stuff is largely hard for me to watch, there are lots of awful one-offs ("Provider," "Double or Nothing")....
