An interesting outlook, but you must bear in mind that without these personal opinions, there is actually a definitive answer. Paradise is the best island for food, the abundance of both wheat and apples mean you can produce masses of apple pie on each natural resource respawn, and therefore outdo similar islands such as Spring or Teraphyx. If we were judging islands based on individual traits, then I could do a definitive list now, by myself. The interesting part comes where you have to evaluate whether having food, water, and natural protection from raiders is more valuable than lots of ores. but a vulnerable island and no food or water. It's also where opinions can vary, as I might think that it's absolutely crucial that islands have field lynx spawns for producing woven vests renewably without leaving the island, while Nooblox may be firmly asserting that if an island doesn't have onions on it, you should just rule it off the list.

And although in actual fact the islands are balanced terribly and Plateau is the clear winner, with Lynx Isle being an obvious loser, eventually I'll think of something like "Best Island for Giant Tribes of Noobs" and we'll have a real discussion.
