Lots of comments like this in this thread, but no one has given a principle that generates such a ranking. However, there is a principle that recommends seasonal clock changes, quite apart from the (false) folk stories about why the U.S. (never mind most of the world) has them.
Personally, I see the options from best to worst as:
1. permanent standard time
2. permanent daylight time
3. change clocks twice a year
4. change clocks more frequently but by a smaller increment.
Lack of consensus as to which of the first two should be #1 isn't an argument for #4.
