I never played in 2013, started in March 2014. Cleared all events completely since then, with the exception of Spring 2014, did not bother with E-5 because of the horror stories (I regret it now, since I still don't have Sakawa).

I cleared everything on hard since the introduction of the difficulty choosing system.

From easiest to hardest:

EO 4-5, Summer 2015 E-3/E-4 (quite comparable), Sping 2015 E-6, EO 5-5, Winter 2015 E-5

None of the above are particularly hard in my opinion. I've always been critizing the (easy) difficulty of events here.

As for Summer 2014 E-6 or Summer 2015 E-7?

Summer 2014 E-6 took me significantly more sorties to clear (70 attempts), whereas Summer 2015 E-7 took me "only" a total of 29 sorties, retreats (mainly due to compass-chan) and only boss runs included. However, while Summer 2014 E-6 was cleared in a substantially larger number of sorties, I have never experienced such a large resource drain as Summer 2015 E-7. The latter took me 3 days of attempting (only 1 run on the 3rd day) to clear the map, with 3-4 days inbetween re-stockpiling back to my soft cap (of 30750) for another day of attempting. Furthermore, compass-chan was quite the troll in Summer 2015 E-7, having to retreat almost immediately after hitting that sortie button (routed to node B with a carrier task force). However, the walls in Summer 2015 E-7 were not as big/tall as Summer 2015 E-6's. Enemies vessels in the current event did not pose much of a treat, as compared to previous events.

It is basically a "pick your poison" situation, map with huge walls and numerous sorties to clear (Summer 2014 E-6) or map with troll compass-chan and a huge resource drain (Summer 2015 E-7). To me, both of these maps are quite memorable, whereas all other event maps where just whatever to me.
