My views are purely on the basis of people i've fought rather than perhaps the popular choices. Also that being said its been awhile.

Loremaster - Kodiak or Zeni? why do you think they both have multiple gems? Because they are the best, with or without gems, with having fought them both Kodiak wins purely for making me fight how he wanted to fight.

knight - all time, Krill. most recent challenge Kureishi who seems to be the only knight capable of fighting in mists nowadays.

Bards - all time, Babidi anybody who has been completly stripped (and i'm talking even clothes people) will understand this one. nowadays not really sure. i guess Krystal or Maximillian.

Thief - all time, Plaman, old time favourite cheap cunning tactics great thief to have on your side or to turn up in the nick of time.

Ranger - a toss up between Wotan or Ender.

Seer - orinoko, nowadays no idea.

Sorcerer - mentionable fought sorcerers Mojo. All time Huzow or Threap.

Mage - all time Jhor or Zakath (but i'm slightly biased there) nowadays no clue. india for all i know. Oh and gandalph was always good for liking a good fight.

Animist - Zilveren for almost choosing the winner of a gem quest.
