The best written straw hats are Jinbe and Sanji.
Jinbe is probably the best written character on the crew, no cheesy backstory, and quite inspiring with his morals and brings leadership with his old man intuition. Sanji is also well written in general, but the second flashback wasnt that necessary , his internal struggles, his family struggles, his kindness-women struggles are good writing etc. Nami is also well written
The worst written Straw Hats are.
Zoro who is the worst written characters, and exists to appeal to dragonball power level low IQ retards. Similarly to Zoro Robin, Franky, Chopper who are barely getting any development after 1000 chapters.

It's obviously Usopp.
To point another two:
-Oda is clearly trying to write something more elaborated than usual with Sanji and, in-character, everything we're seeing so far is congruent with the route he chose. My problem is the foundation going back to Whole Cake since Oda chose to portray Sanji as way kinder than he truly is in order to stress the contrast with his family and future conflict, but ignoring that he's putting more effort into the character than he commonly does.
-Bellamy, albeit hated by the fandom, was perfectly written and his arc makes total sense. His convictions may have been unorthodox, but congruent for his personality and background. It's also refreshing that his "redemption" doesn't lie on a bet on Luffy as his savior but on taking responsability of the life path he chose.

what the hell guys
Doflamingo for me like some have stated already. He just fits so seamlessly into the world Oda constructed. His DF abilities, his ambitions, his role as an underworld broker, his limitations as a power house vs the actual top as well as a complacent power sitting on a unearned throne, his back story, his connections, his finessing the world to be protected by and essential to super powers of the world, his design, his intelligence (Even his lack thereof at times lol) his speeches etc all just works in OP. The ripple effect of his defeat has truly shaken up the OP world on a scale even beyond Whitebeards death at MarineFord.
Haven't even dived deeper into the themes and references of his character to the broader themes of will and heritage and family / Controlled chaos or religious parallels and references to other works of fiction and actual history. Doflamingo was so well written by Oda.
Honorable mentions
Luffy
Zoro (Pre Time Skip, coming into his own as a leader and right hand, several sacrifices of his own ambition and pride for his captain and crew just greatness)
Ace (Tragic character with father issues, most perfect death in shonen history imo)
Fisher Tiger (As a black man his story just hits me that much harder then it likely would other wise)
Sanji (Character focus, gags hold him back)
Robin (Pre Skip and whenever she actually gets focus Pos skip is great)
Future Potential contenders
Blackbeard (high hopes)
Aokiji
Shanks
