I have been to every arena in the league at least once in the past three seasons with the exception of The Hump in Starkville, which I've never been to.
Alabama is the worst in the league with UGA a close second. As I said I haven't been to MSU, but I would put the PMAC a tick above Bama and UGA.
A&M is pretty nice but very sterile. There's something odd about Mizzou Arena that I can't put my finger on but it is also fairly nice.
I am a big fan of The Pavilion and Auburn Arena but as you said they are both very different from Rupp, CLA, BWA and TBA.
I would group them like this. Not cross ranking any of the categories.
NBA Style
1. Bud Walton
2. Thompson Boling
3. Rupp (This moves up if you are measuring the aura, even with the bluehairs, but I am not a huge fan of the aesthetics and also don't like the layout of it being connected to the hotel and convention center)
4. Colonial Life
New smaller gyms with prominent student sections and emphasis on premium seating
1. Auburn
2. Pavilion
3. O'Connell Center (I put this here because it doesn't really fit anywhere else. Not as well done as the other two, but still a pretty solid basketball environment)
Nice but sterile with no real memorable or unique qualities
1. Mizzou
2. Reed Arena
"Historic"
1. Memorial
2. PMAC
3. Steg
4. Coleman

Quality over quantity baws.
This is not a dick-measuring contest.
It is about the atmosphere and comfort.
No one wants to sit in an empty 20,000 seat Arena with metal seats game after game any longer.
Upgrade or close it down and let your fans just watch it on t.v.
