Birthright was a good quest, but I think it suffered from being released so long after King of the Dwarves. Expectations were too high. If you went and played through the dwarf series from start to finish, you'd probably find that Birthright is actually a pretty good quest, especially now that the bugs have been fixed, and post-quest dialogue has been released.
Anyway, in terms of best quest storyline I think I'd have to go with either The Chosen Commander or One Piercing Note. John A was probably Jagex's best writer, and those two quests are probably his best work.
In terms of worst storyline, stuff like Doric's Quest, Imp Catcher and Monk's Friend are the obvious offenders, but I guess they should be granted leeway since they were released very early on. In terms of recently released quests, I think Salt in the Wound is probably the most offensively bad.
SITW's main issue is probably that the tone is completely different from that of previous entries. Sea Slug, Slug Menace (and to a lesser extend Kennith's Concerns) were relatively serious quests, but SITW goes for a more comedic approach. The second biggest issue was that the plot threads from the previous quests were completey ignored (Slug Prince, Lobsters, Temple Knights, Kennith), and they introduced plot elements that pretty much came from nowhere (Eva, Daemonheim, Slug Citadel).
Couple that with the lorefails, and it was a pretty bad quest. It could maybe be salvaged if it was tied in to a certain Cthulhuesque god of horrors.
In terms of Sixth Age quests, Missing, Presumed Death and Fate of the Gods are probably the worst. Mainly because they didn't really HAVE much of a story. Now I HAVE to have that image. Thanks Wahi

Worst: WGS. A tiny bit of story with mostly filler and padding.
Best: Either TWW or HC.

One of my favorite stories is Shadow of the Storm. Really solid standalone quest.
also, WGS > ROTM oh, I loved that quest
I was totally on a demon slaying rampage back when I did that one... I'd killed like... one... maybe two demons... I felt pretty cool though
(and then when I did MM the jungle demon completely destroyed me... and forced me to redo half the quest since that was before gravestones and I lost those thingummies) Carn

Best? While Guthix Sleeps, easily.
Worst? Birthright of the Dwarves.
Tied between BotD and Salt in the Wound I think, as both got bonus badness points for being incredibly disappointing, as finales for what were otherwise some of the best quest series' in the game. It's miserable meeting old friends and not even being able to recognize them, physically or mentally.

Well I was just alerted to the amazing new feature that is pictures in posts. I am going to become a lot more obnoxious a poster, fair warning. Headcanon Haven, where everything is made up and the points don't matter.
