I will chime in with my opinion. I have been to all of the SEC road games except for A&M, Mizzu, Arkansas and Kentucky so I won't speak on them at all.
My favorite road trip is easily Athens and this isn't even close. It helps that I have friends around the area and in Atlanta but I love the town and the stadium. UGA has owned us for the better part of a decade which sucks but I still have fun on the trip. If you choose to stay in Athens for a couple nights, the bars are fun and the fans are usually very good to deal with unless you come in as a dickhole.
Least favorite by far was MSU. I hated their stadium and Starkville. We found nothing to do for a couple days there. Granted I went back for the 97 or 98 game which it might have changed a lot since then, most places have.
Most disappointing was LSU. I expected to be wowed by the night life and we ended up leaving the night after the game because we couldn't really find a good bar that we enjoyed the night before. We ended up back in New Orleans for another night instead and had fun on Bourbon St. This might have been a different trip if we knew someone or a few to show us around but there wasn't a series of bars (like a row of them) at the time so you had to know where they were.
Tuscaloosa is nicer now than it was before the tornado, and no it isn't a jab but when they cleaned up, they cleaned up a lot more than the damage. The stadium is nice and the campus is really nice.
Ole Miss is a pretty place to go and the fans seemed pretty nice.
South Carolina was fun. Not a whole lot to say, Columbia is a good sized city so there is a lot to do and the surrounding areas are very pretty.
Wasn't a fan of UT and didn't like the city either. I put it near the bottom of my list.
Vandy was fun but that was mainly due to being in Nashville so you have a ton to do outside the game.
I went to the Swamp as an FSU fan in the 90s and had a blast. While the rivalry was in full swing, Gainsville is a fun town with a ton of hot women.

Probably one of the biggest campus changes in the SEC since those years. Mainly because we started from so low while other campus had already reached their "peak". You have to see Starkville these days. A lot of people talk shite and call it a shite hole, but a good bit of unbiased fans will tell you that the campus is very beautiful. It's hard for other fans to have a good time (late night) because a lot of the night life is centered around Greek and college aged students.
