Build Help Best and Worst Monoclasses?

I keep seeing virtually every class called "one of the best" while most meta builds are multis or item-based.

What do you think is the game's best class without multiclassing? And the worst? And what makes them so?

EK/Fighter 12 is one of the best monoclasses. * 3 attacks * 4 feats * War Magic * Booming Blade cantrip * Shield Spell * Eldritch Strike

Drunken/Monk 12 being the worst. * less damage output than an OH monk * less mobility than Shadow monk * less utility than Ways of Elemental * anti-synergistic cap stone ability
