The top three are Shoestring, Curly, and Wedges, though not necessarily in that order. I still have not managed to figure out how the fuck restaurants make their shoestring (and steak) fries so fucking good.
Next are waffle fries and onion rings. They're okay.
Sweet Potato fries and tots after that. Just not my thing.
Whoever likes zigzag/crinkle-cut fries is a monster. May god have mercy on their twisted souls.
The secret winner though is zucchini fries, which are mana from the heavens.
When cooked well enough, I'd say 1 2 4 5 8 3 6 7.
Ain't no way I'd ever put wedges higher or shoelace lower. Those are always gonna be constant.
Zig zag/crinkle cut goes to the back and I think waffle deserves the #1 spot personally. I agree with the rest of the ordering otherwise.

Fuck that potato canoes FTW
Onion rings > tots > sweet potato > everything else
And fuck ketchup, combine one part mayonnaise and one part BBQ sauce to dip that shit in
ketchups good with an equal amount of chili pequin sauce mixed in. I learned this at a mexican restaurant that also served burgers and fries for some reason, and haven't been able to go back to any other fry sauce since
Doesn't matter, is potato. And onion rings. All are awesome.
If we are rating the best type of fries then onion rings are last, being that they aren't even potato.

I genuinely love all of these, and struggled to rank them. Just a total potato gremlin.
These rankings also depend a lot on the source. So I just went with the best I've tasted of each.
Ok there's another factor here and that's taking into account the dipping sauce if any.
Crinkle cut without sauce? Bland. With a good sauce? Those little accordion fucks hold way more than shoestring.
Wedges, winners
Onion rings second depending on their quality
Then sweet potato fries

Where are you even getting curly or waffle fries from in this country? Feel like I've never seen them in my life.
Gimme some of those tots

Sweet potato Onion Rings Curly Tots Shoestrings Wedges Waffle Zigzag.
Tots might be lower on the list, but I found they can work surprizingly well in some lazy microwave meals I make, so they get extra points for ease and dependability.
Never had curlies, tots (not even sure what they are) or waffle fries.
After reading the comments I think I've never had good onion rings or sweet potato fries. Those are a no from me. Onion rings were just deep fried batter and sweet potato was sweet and soggy. Both didn't leave an impresion.
Now my potato of choice is wedges (especially if cooked in an oven). Then whatever is left. Not sure why everyone is hating on zigzags. The thickness is similar to straight fries so it should cook similarly and without seasoning everything will taste bland.
