Best:

Comic - Thing. Though there were plenty of great comic book figures that came out this year that could easily cause my opinion to change on a daily basis.

MCU - Either Cull Obsidian wave Thor or Yellowjacket, though leaning more towards Thor because he was an absolute beast in IW.

BaF - This is tough. Monster Venom, Apocalypse, Cull Obsidian and Sauron were all fantastic BaFs. I liked Lizard too. Ultimately, execution wise, I'm gonna go with Monster Venom. I would love to see a Venom with the classic color scheme + logo on this body, which I fully expect Hasbro to do at some point in the next 3 years.

Overall wave - It's looking like the X-Men have taken it for the 3rd year in a row, though the Cull Obsidian wave was an incredibly strong wave across the board (I don't think there was a single bad figure from that wave). I just like the character selection better in the X-Men wave, because X-Men.

Worst:

Comic - Spider-Ham, easily. There's a few figures from this year that I'm meh about. Spider-Ham is so lazily and shoddily done that it actually feels like a slap in the face.

MCU - Gonna go with MKI Iron-Man from that Marvel Studios 2-pack. I don't even own the figure, but I know it's just a repaint of that old ass figure from 10 years ago, which wouldn't be so bad, except it's completely out of scale with everything else. Since the Tony Stark in that pack is nothing but reuse anyway, I would have liked to see them put that money into creating a new MCU Iron-Monger figure.

BaF - Easily SP//DR. It's a poorly-engineered figure for a character with a crappy design (IMO).

Overall wave - Monster Venom wave. Loved Typhoid Mary, liked Scream. The rest of the wave was kinda throwaway for me. I liked that Carnage and Venom came with unmasked heads, but they were ultimately just reused characters. Spider-Ham was trash. I have no attachment to Poison whatsoever. I find it odd that they didn't include Riot in the wave, considering this wave is a pseudo-movie tie-in wave and he's the main bad guy, plus he gives us the 3rd member of our Life Foundation symbiotes.

I was almost inclined to put the Sauron wave because of half it just being different Deadpools, but those figures were actually good, despite character selection.
