There's not a ''worst'' Beethoven symphony, you're just proclaiming an oppinion. They are all different, they don't improve - They change as Beethoven experiences various things in life. Sure, some might be grander but there's not a ''bad'' Beethoven symphony. (the only thing that's really bad is the last movement to the ninth... but that's just my oppinion)
EDIT: From a second reading we seem to kind of be in agreement... must stop skimming.. appologies..
If you want to follow along with beethoven's development you should definitely go the 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 way. Just be aware there's a large gap between 8 and 9 - Beethoven wrote ''eight symphonies, and then another one''.
