The first one was the worst, and a bizarre choice to introduce the mode. It was superbly balanced though, of course.
This current one was my favorite, and probably the most in-line with how I expect most of the rules to go in the future (simple rules that drastically change the play environment). Webspinners were ok too, though playing that mode was usually pretty thoughtless.

I really though this week would be fun but it seems to have the same downfall of banana brawl, existing archetypes get super strong.
Freeze mage with free creatures is something I do not see myself playing against purely from strategic point of view. I'd be willing to play it as a showcase but it's so broken already as an idea I dont find it fun on real life.

I think the difference between this and banana brawl is that banana brawl didn't really make any significant changes to the "base" game and thus it still really just felt like playing a ranked match whereas this brawl does have some new decks and is massively different from vanilla hearthstone.

I love the RNG element in brawls.
My favourite brawl to play and watch has been this week's brawl where you get minions to the battlefield by casting a spell. There are just so many possiblities what you can get to the board and it's fun to watch streamers playing it. Although there are dominating classes, it's still fun because of RNG.
Although the Webspinner one had pretty much RNG involved, it has been my least favourite brawl. Just beause I was so bad at that. I was losing almost all the time. Technically the banana one has been the worst one though because it was mostly the same thing as ladder but with bananas.
My favourite RNG element has been this far first week's Nefarian hero power. Ragnaros was ok when you understood how its deck should be played but it didn't have that RNG element which is the element I really love. I would love to be play Nefarian vs Nefarian matches.

I basically like it where you get to create a deck, and don't like it when you can't. This one was superficially easy (I went straight for Druid with Forest and Savage Roar, and then moved on to Priest once I realised the ridiculousness of Mind Control), but it got more and more interesting as Freeze Mage started to emerge.
It seems like they're alternating between the two basic types of Brawl.

That's funny my favorite was the webspinner one. My least favorite was the banana one.

Banana one was definitely the worst. It was pretty much the tempo mage brawl
