Mostly because AkiP has actually perfected the art of the album, and the stages are meant to be his variant of albums for 48G. He probably feels a ton of pressure both from the fans' expectations and the fact that he actually churns out some good stuff for the theater stages.
My favs are a6 and sdn1, there are no stages I dont like, they are just stages I havent heard yet lol
I like all stages but my favorites are: A5: There are a lot of popular songs here like Heart Gata Virus, Hikoukigumo or AKB Sanjou! and is the stage with the most interesting songs in Team A K6: Considering this the only stage where I know all the songs, I absolutely love this stage! It has amazing songs like RESET, Kanojo ni Naremasu ka?, Kiseki wa ma ni Awanai and Hikkoushimashita B3: Their first original stage! All songs are the type of songs I would hear in repeat. Specially Shonichi, Junjou Shugi, Temodemo no Namida and Inochi no Tsukaimichi. KII3: This stage may be my second favorite stage in 48G. Songs like Kizashi, Cross, Manazashi Sayonara, Kodoku na Ballerina and Ramune no Nomikata are still my SKE jams.
Best 5: A3 > A5 > A2 > A6 > B3 Worst 5: K3 > H2 > H1 > K6 > A1 (it's not that I don't like them, it's just that I don't know them...)

A5 (THE PERFECT STAGE) > A4 (i just love the songs, and the units are nice too. If it wasn't for the costumes it would've been no.1) > S2 (it feels so fresh and fun!) > B3 (Shonichi always hit me in the feels) > N3 (i know this stage is not everyone's cup of tea but it's NMB's first original stage and ZIPPER FGS) Worst: S3 > K5 > K3 > A1 > A2
My #1 favourite stage is H2 (Yume wo Shinaseru Wake ni Ikanai), but I think there's at least one amazing song in every single stage, even the ones I really don't like. The first stage I watched was K4, which I still love, and S3, B4, and K6 are great too. For some reason, I love H1 (Boku no Taiyou) and B3 too, but only when JKT48 does them (I don't understand a word of Indonesian, though.) The first Team K waiting stage is great, but I don't think it counts here. Actually, I think the only stages I don't like are the moody, serious ones from Team A, but I don't really follow AKB for serious music.
