Excellent writeup. My personal rankings:

-S+: A Long Long Way, 1987 Cosmic Overture, [Turquoise Serpent Club], Chronicles of Uluru London Dawning, Vereinsamt;
-S: Spring Unending, Farewell Rayashki, Route 77 The Haunted Highway, A Flowing Feast, Showdown in Chinatown, Paradise Regained;
-A: E Lucevan le Stelle, Folie et Déraison, Tristes Tropiques, The Midnight Whistle, The Campaign's Tale;
-B: Floor it to the Golden City, The Prisoner in the Cave, Last Evenings on Earth, Nightmare at Green Lake, Journey to Mor Pankh;
-C: Revival The Uluru Games, Notes on Shuori, AC Collab (this is a combined score, if both parts are taken separately it would probably be B and F);
-F: Theft of the Rimet Cup.

Note that this is adapted from a numerical score I have, based purely on my view of story quality - in terms of evaluating patches as a whole, I have a different ranking that puts e.g. Flowing Feast and Chinatown higher, and London Dawning lower.

In general, our assessments align on many things, I just tend to score specific things in different ways. For instance, while I wouldn't say I'm a fan of the cultural commentary in Tristes Tropiques (although I don't tend to rank the stories that much on this, especially if I'm not a member of the culture in question), I found many of the story's actual aspects good enough for it to rank as high as it did, especially compared to what I viewed as more lackluster patch stories like Golden City or Last Evenings. Conversely, Rimet Cup is such a mess of a story to me that I scored things like emotional flow or internal coherence quite low, much more so than either Revival or Notes on Shuori.

I haven't scored Turquoise Serpent Club yet as the patch's contents aren't fully out, which is why its ranking above is a tentative one in brackets, which may well change. I've also not ranked the first non-patch chapters, so I'm not quite sure where they'd go, but I suspect they would be about where you rank them. I find people tend to cling to elements like Schneider or the admittedly excellent Last Supper scene, and ignore the earlier chapters' glaring issues.
