Honestly my favorite arc was the King Picollo arc in DB.
Mostly because it took place right after tournament 2 and the Tenshinhan arc was actually really good, they escalated it right after the tournament with a huge tone shift before the viewers have room to breath, so it left a huge impression on me, Goku getting so pissed off for the first time ever in his life because his best buddy just got murdered in cold blood was like the time when he turned super saiyan on namek, except I thought it was better even though not as flashy. (I really adore the recent dragon ball super episodes when goku hang out and fight against krillin again, they used to be such best buddies but we don't get to see them hang out as much now)
The final moment when he put everything into his final attack against Picollo, man.
For me, it's king picollo arc > namek > cell > tounament 2 > Picollo Jr > tournament 1 > Buu > Pilaf / red ribbon
I'm sure there are some minor arcs missing like the Fortune Teller Baba arc where Goku fight against his Grandpa, and there's the Saiyan arc, I don't know where to put them but I'd say they were very good, the fight vs Vegeta in the Saiyan arc was still one of the best, but I still sort of think it's just a prologue for Namek. Pilaf/dragonball collecting at the beginning contains all the introduction to characters such as Yamcha, Bulma so it was pretty great too.
I'm not sure why but I actually find red ribbon to be weak, it has some good comedy and raiding their base was also good too but I'd rate it below the other arcs, just not a big fan of it, it's still very enjoyable, with Arale's cameo and whatnot.
I also don't mean to put down some of the arcs I rated lower, I just don't want to make the thread too long, like I absolutely adore many moments in the series, like the third tournament with Chichi getting married to Goku and many good moments. Red Ribbon army with the side characters like Android 8 and not to mention the Arale cameo.
Vegeta getting soft during the Buu's arc and actually care about his family, etc.
