1. Kentucky - never been but I heard it holds like 24,000 people. Which is insane. That number could be wrong, going off of old memory.
If you've never been, how can you rank it #1?
That is the problem with these threads. Very few people have been to all the arenas.

I have been to Gainesville 3 times and, to me, it has the feel of a High School Gym. Part of that may be due to the smell of chlorine from the swimming pool in the same facility.
From the pictures, all the facilities look pretty good.

Because they are Kentucky and they can squeeze 24,000 people in it. People talk about Rupp as a place you gotta go to see a game. No one else in sec has that.

I've been to all of them except Auburn's new one, but most were over 10 years ago before a bunch of them were renovated.
I thought Rupp was overrated, but it had more to do with the area around it I guess.
Arkansas's is my favorite, but I prefer their old one. But I like older arenas better anyway. Vandy's is awesome because it's so unique, but the sight lines are pretty terrible.
UGA's was a dump, but again that was in 2000 before they renovated it. It looks a lot nicer now.
My top 3:
1. Arkansas
2. Florida
3. Rupp, by default I guess.
The rest as I remember were either really bland(Coleman, Miss St, Tennessee) or dumps(Ole Miss, UGA, Auburn's old one).
