And Snoke throne room, is the best duel. Because of the character development and storytelling within the Scene. (I can see why others would like RoTJ throne room for the same reason, but over time the land/space/duel constant cutaways have become a distracting trope of Star Wars for me, just let the scene playout.)

Anakin and Obi-Wan had a long relationship that should have meant their final fight was tragic, but the movies did an awful job of establishing that basis because we never saw them do anything other than bicker like an old couple that can't stand each other. If the lead-up to that fight was everything in Clone Wars, then it would have given people the feels it was supposed to (along with a better director and screenwriter obviously).
RoTJ duel did almost everything right in terms of having both participants struggle on loyalty to family versus pull of the dark side. that was a relationship that began all the way back in the death star trench run, and somehow it even made you feel bad for Vader when he got his hand chopped, looking weak and defenseless against his son who was on the brink of giving in to his anger.
you're seriously comparing that to Snoke throne room duel where the they fought a bunch of literally nameless, faceless guards, one of whom gets comically shredded as if he fell into a giant cartoon log chipper? yes we are cheering for Rey and Kylo to win and yes there were a few cool moves, but in the end it was just a skirmish against better armed and better trained stormtroopers. zero emotional impact.
