Gintama SA and FS arcs are the benchmarks that all anime (especially intended for shounen demography) should aspire to reach.

Can't say best, but I've always loved the Saiyan Saga cause it's where I started Dragon Ball, the Kengan Annihilation Tournament cause it has excellent fights with a wide range of interesting characters, Baki's Great Prison Battle Saga cause it's got good fights but everything leading up to the final fight is so ridiculously funny and cool, and My Villain Academia because I like the villains way more than the main cast in that manga.
Again, these are just personal favorites, not claiming any of these are the best ever.

Can't point specific arcs but I do agree with the Chimera Ant Arc being one of the best arcs in HxH. It shows how much more the show can provide without compromising the quality of the battle scenes.

This same question always appear at least once a month. Not every anime or manga are written in the form of arcs, even not in battle shounen, take the popular Fulmetal Alchemist for example. Writing a story as arcs looks like a bad way of writing to me anyway.

You have good taste. Sasuke retrieval mission, Dark Tournament, and the Tournament of Power are among my favorite arcs as well. The Tournament of Power is highly underrated.

The final arc in the Chihayafuru manga is phenomenal! Every moment was breathtaking! Every page, nay, every panel, was packed full of emotion! I was constantly on the edge of my seat, reading in awe at what was in front of me, only to find myself crying from joy once given a moment of silence.

Read Chihayafuru!
