In what character's arc do you find the most enjoyment in the MCU?
Mine has got to be Dr. Strange. I so enjoy this story of an arrogant perfectionist who loses his perfection. In his own arrogance he tries and tries to restore that perfection, and fails at every turn. When he seeks the solution from outside his knowledge, he learns how to restore himself, but he also learns that there is a greater good, and that his life wasn't about him. A life where he stays imperfect and uses his newfound knowledge by humbling himself over and over again to a greater power to protect others.
I also found the ending scene so touching, as he puts on his damaged watch using his still shaking hands. The western perfectionist had learned the eastern way of finding beauty in imperfection. Wabi-sabi.
I really enjoyed that one.

Captain America. His story of being a soldier during World War II who fought for his government only to wake up decades after being in suspended animation, and then question his government when he disagrees with their surveillance policy and superhero registration. Also, as Ultron pointed out, he's a man who can't live without war. He has woken up decades into the future, but he can't let go of his attachments to his past, which is why he is willing to go incredible lengths to protect Bucky. Thus far, he becomes a war criminal who's on the run from the government.

I like the ongoing arc of Tony Stark the "Futurist". It's very uneven, and basically bends different ways to suit the current movie... But it's still pretty compelling. The tech genius desperately trying to stay ahead of the threat, often causing new threats in the process.

Pietro Maximoff - "You didn't see that coming?"
I just loved how he started as someone who couldn't let go of his resentment towards Stark and the Avengers, and ends as someone who's willing to put all his pain behind him and give up his life to save a member of the team. This also proves that Ultron (who had valid points about the Avengers not really changing the status quo) is wrong.
Stark probably has the best arc overall, but Pietro's is definitely my favourite.
In death, a member of the Avengers has a name. His name was Pietro Maximoff.

Strange is where Tony Stark ideally should be yet since IM3 it seems unconvincing to me.

Probably Captain America.
Bucky aka Winter Soldier is also a strong contender.

T'Challa or Shuri I'd guess.  |

James Rhodey and Bruce Banner come to mind. I remember seeing Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk in 2008, and compared to then it's like they're completely different people.

Thor. This is a guy who had it all but wanted more, got stripped of everything, found something else he loved, got stripped of that as well, then got back his love but in return lost his brother, left his world to protect Earth, got dumped, lost his prized weapon, lost his father, lost his world and majority of people, ended up unlocking his full potential, just to have his few remaining friends killed as well as his brother and best friend, ended up becoming the most powerful Avenger.
That is one hell of a rollercoaster ride. This guy just can't get a break and yet everytime he comes out seemingly more powerful than before. We've also seen him arrogant, kind, stoic and goofy. Stark's and Steve's storylines are pretty straightforward in comparison.

The Duality of Thor & Loki.  But it I think the characterization all-around is flippin’ fantastic. |

Of course I love how they have moved Thor along, but one has to also take notice of Bucky.
The only one with a shorter end of the stick might be Janet Pym
