As the title says, we all know that a great deal of characters in the series have gone through stages, forms, transformations, and evolutions in power left and right, but which are your favorites? For me personally, overall power plays the very least roll in my liking of a certain version of a character. So to start things off, a few of my favorites are:

Sasuke: Pre-deidara Fight with 2nd stage Curse Seal transformation, his curse seal will always be my favorite, I don't even like Sasuke but that transformation is too badass for me to care.

Kimimaro: 2nd stage curse seal form, his dance of the clematis flower and vine was my favorite attack that I'd seen in the series up until that point

Gaara: During his fight with Deidara, after maturing a bit, becoming sane, becoming kazekage, but still having Shukaku

Madara: My favorite version of him will always be his Edo Tensei form, for two reasons. First, because it was the only form that used tengai shinsei, and second because it was the only precedent in the history of the Naruto world of a character making edo tensei an actual power of theirs rather than a granted stated that could be taken away. Also that form was just the right mix of ungodly powerful in comparison to everyone else without overdoing it. A close second is one eyed living Madara, because limbo is just awesome. It almost pains me not to hold 2 eyed Madara as my fav, because I thought his version of chibaku tensei was just awesome, mostly because it was basically a meteor shower.

Nagato: While still using the six paths. As cool as it was seeing Nagato actually fighting himself, the six paths of pain were a very unique and unprecedented type of villain at that point, and awesome to see in action.

Obito: This one is actually difficult considering just how many versions of him there have been, but I would have to say my favorite is a tie between Guruguru Obito right after he awakened MS (because this is the only time we really get to see a showcase of him using mokuton), and Obito during the fight with Kakashi, Naruto and Bee because that was basically showing him at his fullest potential as a combatant, though his taming of the six paths jin just prior to this wasn't far behind.

Now when you say prime Minato, do you mean during the Obito fight? Because technically his prime was as an Edo Tensei, since that was the only time he used Kyuubi Cloak.

My favorite version of Ino is when she was a child.
When she was in the academy with Sakura.

Ino then was easily one of the best characters in the series.

Kakashi with Kubikiribocho was pretty badass, I wish he'd kept it.

1. Hebi Sasuke or MS Sasuke
2. SRA Temari
3. Edo Madara
4. Deva Path
5. Alive Itachi

chuunin exams and drunk Lee
Yeah, it's unfortunate Lee never got the same level of development in Shippuden.
pre-tnj Neji
His arrogance was kind of annoying but he had a powerful aura around him and was pretty badass.
pre-tnj Gaara
What TNJ are we talking about? He got TNJ twice, once after losing to Naruto and after he got revived and saved by Naruto. Gaara seemed pretty useful throughout the war arc and was a very inspirational figure during the kage summit arc and War arc. Too bad he started wanking Naruto once he returned.
war arc Gai
Gai's been the same character so it is natural for the most powerful version to be at the top.
part 1 Orochimaru
You're right, Shippuden Oro's barely done much and wasn't very interesting but his part one self sparked conflict between two great shinobi villages.
Snake cloak and part 1 Kabuto
I liked part one Kabuto's character design and his role in the manga.
Hebi Sasuke
From a moral perspective he had the most justified goals unlike all the versions of Sasuke that came after him. His fighting style at this point was the coolest.
SRA Temari
CE Temari was hot headed and arrogant. SRA Temari was cool, badass and arrogant. Shippuden Temari is kind hearted but somewhat plain.
