I like most of these sonnets very much for different reasons, so trying to compare them to each other is like comparing apples to oranges. While some of them are more perfectly constructed than others, some appeal strongly for their delivery and content. I guess if I had to choose (and I'm wishy-washy about the exact order, especially of the first three) I'd vote for:
Hard Winter
Millay's Child
Visions of the Serengeti
Forty-eight
Charlemagne's Vision
Aftershocks
Carol
