It is not a matter of being the best or worst. Philosophy is purely ideas. If someone's ideas make sense to you, it is right, else it is not. Also, we consider something as best based on acceptance by the majority or by the so-called "intellectuals". Just because something is popular doesn't really make it the best.
You think the worst is Hume. Someone might say Bertrand Russell. Someone might say Buddha. So who is the worst? No one!

I don't believe there were any "worst" philosophers except maybe my own thought process. I speak with conviction and do not expect any one to be on the same wave-length as mine. Depending on your geographic location and time era, whose to say there was no validity in "their" thought process? I probably will die and get now where with my beliefs---such as your opinion on Hume.

If you agree they are good. If you disagree they are bad. Isn't the question subjective? And there is no "good" and "bad" in Philosophy. Evil is the creation of religionists that prided themselves as philosophers.

In order to be a bad philosopher, you need make no sense...
If you make no sense you challenge your fellow philosophers to prove that sense is in itself required...
by challenging your fellow philosophers, you are a good philosopher, so...
there are no bad philosophers?
