Kuja is the best Final Fantasy Villain ever, ever.

FFXI truly has the best villains, I would argue with you about it, but not enough people have played it for it to be fair. But seriously, the absolute best villains.

Kam'lanaut and Eald'narche are kind of boring, really. Raogrimm's pretty cool, but hardly the big bad of the game. Promathia's not that exciting by simple virtue of not being around long enough to matter. Lady Lillith is pretty damned cool, though.

Shadow Lord was the big bad for a while when the game first began. I loved that he was brought back in Dyna-Xarc, too, and that for a while he was one of the premiere challenges of the game.

I guess you could see the dilution of villains in the game as a fault, but personally I like that each storyline has its own villain, even if there's no big baddy to tie them all together.
