from my personal experiments in consequence....(with the luxury of hindsight!) and off the top of my head (subject to change with further personal growth!) I would say:
Pride:
unproductive because it is an absence of humility. It limits vision, personal growth, forgiveness, tolerance and understanding. A defense mechanism, a hardening, a form of giving up.
Fear:
Also a indifference because of misdirected energy, blind energy that consumes time more useful if focused on overcoming the fear, finding it's root or discerning a solution.
A powerful indicator and tool if identified as an emotion and learned from!
Ignorance:
Lack of understanding, insight ,empathy and spiritual awareness. Numbness. renders a person impotent without conviction and is a choking experience to the heart and soul.
All of these can be overcome in a blink of an eye. Choice is there for each condition or unbalance......
for me I have the easiest time overcoming:
Ignorance, then pride, then fear.
They seem to manifest levels of growth in that order for me.

i guess ignorance is the least worst out of the above three; explanation available on request. out of Pride and Fear; though i'm not hundred percent sure, but i guess Pride is worse than Fear. An ideal case is to have none of these.
I would like to add here that there is no generalised correct answer. the answers may vary according to an individual's priorities.
From a metaphysical and transcendental point of view; I guess the answer that i provided is the right one.
I would like to add here that as far as "ignorance" is concerned; having or not having it depends on ignorance of "what"? Ignorance, if analysed in context with an individuals "goal", here and hereafter, is a subjective term. It may be good to have it; may not be good to have it.

Pride and fear are products of ignorance a state of being that is too often considered negative when it should not be. There is nothing wrong with being ignorant...it's remaining that way that seems to be the problem for most folks.
Ask yourself it you mean "pride" is not confused with bullying others...your way or the highway.
Hope this helps.

Ignorance is worst. Our ignorance about something will not cause us pride or fear because of the abscence of knowledge. Our knowledge cause us pride when we reach out for something we aspire at the cost of hurting ourselves or others. Fear stops us from trying what we can do and makes us back up. But ignorance will not make us do anything whether its for our good or it can hurt. It makes us stupid and doing nothing and we can get hurt with it much because we cannot defend ourself.

I think the 3 worst quality's of human nature are jealousy, greed, and arrogance. Fear is a result of ignorance and pride isn't always necessarily negative.

Ignorance for sure! There is nothing worse then being uneducated! Most only fear what they don't know... so if they knew more.... ya know what I mean?
There is nothing wrong with Pride.. Everyone should have pride in something!

Definitely ignorance. I think both pride and fear spring from ignorance--excessive pride in ourselves without realizing how much others contributed, or in how much others have also done, and fear of the unknown.

Pride is one of the 'deadly sins', which causes me to believe thinkers of the past considered it 'worse' than traits that went unmentioned.
Ignorance and fear are probably easier to conquer in the self, whereas, pride merely assumes a different uniform and comes back in through the back door in a different guise.

Fear. Ignorance is the worst thing for those who're educated, a man living in ignorance is maybe happier; pride - for those who're meek. But fear destroy everything, it enslave one's soul, it abase one's dignity. Living in fear is like a slow dying.
