My updated ranking:
 
EX1000 > SM3 > FX700 > Radius DDM = MD > IE8 > Copper > TF10  
 
I'm able to get a good enough seal with the EX1000 (in spite of their huge size and somewhat awkward fit) that I hear them as better than the FX700 (got to do that A/B comparison at the UK meet). With my combination of Sony X1060 & Arrow, I get such a full rewarding sound with them. It's almost as satisfying a listen as my Pro 900 & Just Audio uHA-120 rig.

I'll bite. Bolded are the ones I've owned while non-bolded are those that I have demoed (borrowed from a friend or in-store).
 
Westone 4 > MTPC = Image X10 > Westone 3 = SE535 > TF10 = IE8 > RE0 > Image S4 > Maximo IM590S > Stock
 
It was a big toss-up SQ wise between the X10 and W3s. I gave the edge to the X10 since comfort is a huge factor in my enjoyability while listening. I'm currently in the process of ordering the quads from 1964 ears. If the good things I have been hearing about them is true, I will probably sell the X10s in the near future.

ATH-CK10 > IE8 > SE530 > MTPG > UE5PRO > E2C
 
bold = owned; without bold = borrowed
 
Let's hope that my W4's (arriving tomorrow) exceed expectations.

IE8 > SM3v2 > SE530
 
Notes: It is assumed we are only talking sonics here. SE530s are distant last place in above ranking.

CK10 and GR07 are definitely different beasts, but both do what they do equally well. It's just not the same thing that they do.

I was contemplating putting the apple buds just above the SE215, but then I thought you might not take me seriously if I did.

I'm sure your list is totally changed.
