The problem with the Borg was that they were obviously created to be the ultimate badass enemy. Not only were there trillions of them, and not only were they absolutely pitiless and uncompromising, but they were also cleverer than anybody else and had weapons that could crack planets... So, you can see how that would be a bit hard to sustain in the long term... :)
Silver Nemesis was a story that I thought was great when I first saw it, years ago, but then when I watched it again, I realised it was a bit of a daft remake of Remembrance of the Daleks, only with not-too-bright Cybermen. But Lady Peinfort was all kinds of amusing, and that bit with Ace and the gold coins, while a little silly, is nevertheless...well, ace. And the bit where the Cybermen accidentally shoot each other! In Earthshock, there are lots of great little Cyber-moments. There are even a couple of those in Attack of the Cybermen, even though overall it's...well, not the best.
I'm torn, now: Liz or Polly? Liz or Polly? Liz or... See, with Liz you get UNIT and Season 7 Brig, and maybe even Liz/Brig... But Two and Polly are very attractive too... Multi-Doctor stories, while great, should strictly only be for special occasions, so it would have to be an epic... Er... Let me think on...
