L > Misa Chan > Near >= Mello for me in terms of faves.
I really like Light when he gives up the DN the first time and starts helping L, but the author gives Light way too many advantages seemingly out of the blue after L dies. Everyone around Light seems to drop IQ points at that stage too, makes it very hard to cheer that egomaniac on.

To me, L was the smartest one. I was amazed the first time he quickly deduced the area of effect the killer(Light) could operate him by using a criminal as a distraction.
Light's plan in giving up the death note was pretty ingenious too, but imo L was at a bigger disadvantage. Light had a supernatural book, an almighty Shinigami, while having his dad nearby to give him necessary knowledge advantage concerning police movements, got an additional death note user(Misa) who conveniently became fan of Light, with Light using this to his advantage.
Yet despite all this, L uncovered most of Light's secrets, predicted his death and still managed to beat Light post-mortem through Mello / Near

Light was smarter than L (though they are very close).
First of all, proving Kira had supernatural abilities wasn't hard, given he was basically killing people globally with a heart attack. Secondly, people say Light had an advantage due to having a supernatural device. But that device is no use if you cannot kill L without becoming the main suspect. L was a billionaire with all the infrastructure and global staff at his disposal. Light had nothing. Ryuk was of no use and Rem threatened to kill Light if something happens to Misa.
And Light killed two birds with one stone by forcing Rem to kill L. With Rem saying upon her death (in the Manga) that Light has surpassed the Shinigami by forcing them to kill themselves off. Lol.
So with no resources and with a Shinigami holding a knife to his throat, Light achieved to get rid of both L and Rem (plus Watari).
Light won fair and square.
Near even said that with the combined strength of him and Mello, they could surpass L and thus beat Kira.
But even then, Light only lost due to a tiny mistake of Mikami.
As for Mikami, I very liked him too until the point where he became obsessed with Light being god. When he should've realized that Light is just as human as him, who was granted powers by the Shinigami.

Light underestimated Near too by saying that he is inferior to L, as L would've considered the existence of a fake notebook. And the only reason Near figured out is, because Mikami wrote down Takada's name too. He just could've given Mikami one piece of paper of the other notebook and call it a day.
Can't blame you 
If you only look at the conclusion sure, but i take into consideration situations too, and to me, L was at a bigger disadvantage than Light to start with(super-natural book, dad to share police force infos, additional death note user, with 2 Shinigamis giving him knowledge no one else knew), yet still almost won against Light, predicted his death, and ultimately won post-mortem through Mello / Near
