The Daleks are the most classic, but I think that they've been somewhat nerfed of late. Particularly with the Mighty Morphin' Power Daleks, but Davros in 'The Stolen Earth' and 'Journeys End' was particularly marvellous.
The Master is always a tricky one to play, Simms Master was more psychotic than Delgrado who was clever and calculating, I wish that Derek Jacobi could have had longer as the Master, I think he could have made the role very very dark indeed.
In regards to the Weeping Angels, I agree they have been taken down a bit in recent times, but the next two episodes that see the departure of Amy and Rory might do something to reinstall that fear...might...the Dalek episode didn't really do anything to make the Daleks seem more scary like Moffat wanted to. So we'll see.
So, yes, I think the best villain, certainly in the recent series (haven't seen that much of the old series) is Davros. Julian Bleach does a fantastic job of portraying the pure megalomania behind him.
