I've been on all of those except Roaring Rapids which I have seen a video of.
Yankee Clipper is very fun with it's big drop and the interaction with Logger's Run is nice.
Logger's Run is just about the same except with a double drop. I don't know which drop I prefer as I don't remember Yankee Clipper that much since the last time I went on it was 2010.
Buccaneer Battle is a lot of fun. You get to shoot your friends and it's some sweet revenge sometimes.
Roaring Rapids seems a bit boring because all it does is a circle. I like Thunder River at Six Flags St Louis but I don't like the whole row of waterfalls. It doesn't fit in with the ride. The water is coming from a pipe and you can tell that on the ride.

1. Buccaneer Battle. No Lines and you are guaranteed to get wet. Especially if you heckle people. 2. Roaring Rapids. Pretty much a Guarantee to get wet plus every ride is different. 3. Loggers Run. Mild splash, But pretty smooth and classic (The fact it was rehabbed in 04 doesn't hurt either) 4. Yankee Clipper. While fun, More jerky than Loggers Run
Here's the problem with Buccaneer Battle...only one side of the boat ever faces the midway to try and get bystanders wet. Both sides eventually face other boats, but the jets on board don't reach other boats on the concourse.
There's the potential for a fun ride there, but the layout is brutal.
1. Logger's Run (like the stomach jumping double drop the best) 2. Yankee Clipper 3. Roaring Rapids 4. Buccaneer Battler
1. Roarin Rapids. There is just something about this ride that I absolutely love. I would love it even more if the waterfalls actually went over the boat like at IOA or CP.
2. Logger's Run. The double drop the jerkiness this to me is just the perfect classic log ride.
3. Yankee Clipper. A smooth ride with a decent drop, and a better soaking than in previous years when it was known as Ice Mountain Splash.
4. Buccaneer Battle. A great ride if you want to get wet fast. Its like being at Hurricane Harbor with all of your clothes on. The best things about this are there are never any lines for it and the tipping bucket at the end. If the ride has stopped for whatever reason and you are underneath it you can guarantee being wet for the next 6 hours or so.
I am putting a special number one for Splash Water Falls. This was just great especially on those days when it was extremely hot and the water rides were backed up 2+ hours. I would always ignore the signs that said this was not the enterance and would always stand on the bridge for 4-5 cycles and get drenched. It was pure heaven when that wave would hit the bridge, just remember to take a deep breath whil the boat is going down the chute. You will forever have a place in my heart Splash Water Falls (It also had a cool name in my opinion).
1. Roaring Rapids - Every ride is different sometimes, you're the one that gets soaked, and other rides, you see other people getting soaked and that's fun too.
2. Yankee Clipper - Too bad it's never open!
3. Loggers Run - I like it as much as YC but it's a little bumpy.
4. Buccaneer Battle, it's honestly not that bad, but not good compared to the other 3.
1. Roaring Rapids- I always have to get on it on a hot day. Love this water ride. 2. Logger's Run- Love the double drop. 3. Yankee Clipper- It is sad to see this ride closed all of the time. 4. Buccaneer Battle- I have to agree with some people that the ride really isn't that bad. I just never feel the need to get on it every time I go to the park
