Interesting question! Here's my opinion:

VOCALOID1 is tough. They all seem pretty close in terms of quality.

For VOCALOID2 on notoriety alone, it's got to be Len Kagamine. His pronunciation issues became a meme in the Japanese fandom. The Kagamine package was so glitchy that Crypton had to issue an official apology, create an Act 2 and change their PR strategy. Whoa! Perhaps they weren't the worst quality of the era, but they were definitely the one of the most controversial releases.

VOCALOID3: Once again, difficult.

SeeU had the most problematic marketing. Her demo had a real voice singing over it, her English voicebank was unfinished, and let's not get started on the Miku Formula talk.

Chika was good quality, but she was lambasted for being so very similar to Gumi and Kokone. Chika came at the peak of the 'generic voicetype' discourse; and naturally fell flat.

All of Crypton's V3s failed to meet a fair few fan's hopes, but none of them were flops.

...honestly: Suzune Ring. A controversial redesign, heavily criticised for being too Miku-like, and of course: not being released. You don't get much more difficult to use than that.
