Edos are not organised by preference in each tier, just ascending.

Tier Tier description Edo Explanation
1 Edos I consider the best in their own areas. If someone dislikes one of them, I am ready to fight them with whatever I got. 15 The edo I consider to first be usable in the 7-odd-limit, as it is the first edo to both be consistent in that limit and distinguish all 3 thirds within it (7/6, 6/5, 5/4). It comes with a usable 5-odd-limit, a pretty good 4:5:6:7 and very interesting structure. All in all, a pretty good tuning system for the 7-odd-limit, and especially for its size.
1 19 Same case for 15edo but in the 9-odd-limit, as 19edo not only improves upon 15edo by getting a consistent 9/7, but also outshines it and even 12edo in the 5-odd-limit. Not only does it come with a handy notation, it also has loads of resources for it, so it's very easy to pick up as a beginner. Its 7-limit chords and intervals isn't as good as 15edo's in my opinion though, since its 7/4 is really off compared to 15edo though...
1 29 The first edo to have three pairs of consistent thirds (arto/tendo, neominor/neomajor and superminor/submajor), and it's also a near-pyth edo, so the familiar 3-limit harmony from 12edo is also usable here. In my opinion, this edo is the perfect size for its consistency, though if you want more accuracy to just intonation, then the edo below is perfect for that.
