Nice collection! I only have a few of yours, but here's how I grade them:

Pinaud Clubman: 9
Floid Blue: 6
Derby City Chop Shop Bay Rum: 9
Fine American Blend: 8
Old Spice - current style you can get from your local CVS, Walgreens: 6
Ghost Town Barbershop (hands down my least favorite): 8

I'd recommend the following, which are 9s or 10s in my den:

Chatillon Lux, any flavor: 10
PAA, most flavors: 10
Barrister and Mann Reserve, both Cool and Spice: 9 (Cool is a better version of Floid Blue, and Spice is a better version of drugstore Old Spice, in my opinion)
Tabac: 10
Pashana: 9
Floid Vigoroso: 9

I've got many other aftershaves that I enjoy, but these are top of my heap (off the top of my head).

P.S. How could I forget Wm Neumann? I give their 1907, 1911, Heartwood and Absolute Zero all a score of 10.

If you want something that's citrusy or lighter than a good portion of your splashes look to be, maybe check out Chiseled Face's Easy Street or Santa Paula. I really like their splashes, I see you don't like your GTB but I think his citrus-based splashes work really well (I haven't used GTB but understand it to be a kindof polarizing scent).
Dr Jon's stuff is also really good.
Fine has other nice scents in addition to AB, I don't personally like them as much because they don't have any skin goodies, but their scents are enjoyable.

Those are all I tried as well. Nice collection!

Have you tried Pashana? I guess it’s English barbershop? It’s powdery patchouli is wonderful to me. Careful, it’s potent!
