If you wish to check my opinions on every and each, check this thread.
Warlords of the Wastelands beats all. Best plot with some dark moments, probably best writing, and Tarnum is an interesting guy in this, quite bipolar in his personality. Likeable and damnable at the same time. The mission where you slaughter innocent peasants fleeing from war is probably the most "mature" mission in HoMM3. I found the story fairly captivating and was interested in the events. Great campaign in general.
Two other games, not as good as the above but interesting, are Conquest of the Underworld and Revolt of the Beastmasters.
Conquest advances the story of Warlords nicely, but it's too much of a "insta goody two shoes" transformation of Tarnum and some of the levels are annoying, like the XL level filled with 1 million of resource piles.
Revolt also brings a good story, and a more balanced gameplay, but the final maps seem pretty rushed if you ask me. Both story-wise and map-wise.
then we have The World Tree which is roughly as difficult as Shadow of Death campaigns (the other Chronicles games range through pathetically easy to easy), and Fiery Moon which is a bit easier than above but still OK. Those, however, are ruined by the ridiculous plot. Good campaigns though, fairly enjoyable to play when you don't care about the plot. With a bonus of having a barbarian familiar riding on a pony as an advisor.
Finally, we have campaigns that feel like a total mess on all levels: laughably easy, plagued with tiny maps that took 1 hour to make, poor on story, mediocre on writing and just plain unsatisfying. Masters of the Elements, Clash of the Dragons and Sword of Frost fall into this category. Masters does have redeeming elements (visual level design and Tarnum's antics), while the other two are mostly poop and feel like a cash grab.
Warlords: 6/10
Revolt: 5/10
Conquest: 5/10
World Tree: 4/10
Fiery Moon: 4/10
Masters: 3.5/10
Clash of the Dragons: 3/10
Sword of Frost: 3/10
