I thought it would be nice for archiving purposes to collect the best performances of last season. With that I mean the skater, one specific competition where he/she/they out skated themselves and which turned out to be the best performance of that skater of the season.
For example:
Yuzuru Hanyu: LP Hope and Legacy
Best performance: definitely Worlds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZxDCfgVfTc
Yuzuru Hanyu: SP Let's go crazy
Best performance: probably GPF: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08m9CebBBF4
comment: the landing of the 4loop was not perfect there, but it's the fastest step sequence of the whole season and he skates it with more abandon than at worlds. Also, all 4cc audios on youtube are weird.
Shoma Uno
both SP and LP
Best performance: definitely Worlds:

Best performance LP: Cup of Russia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2rPDFQOZKI
etc.
Ladies
I stopped following ladies as a whole as I can't deal with the amount of UR and edge passes the top skaters get, but I still follow some of my favorites, so here are they:
Zijun Li: LP Only for Love
Best performance: Definitely definitely WTT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bARqJw1FMQ
Ashley Wagner: LP Muse
Best performance: probably US Nats: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2KVmX7B4Nc
but Worlds were good too and she was't totally clean on both occasions.
Kaetlyn Osmond:
Best performance SP: Worlds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UTaaMqtUEQ
her Canadian Nats performances was pretty good, too but the camera angle at worlds were better
Anna Pogorilaya:
Best performance LP: Russian Nats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGuv77vDKHo
Ionna also suggested GPF, Anna was clean on both occasion, but I thought her opening choreography was at Nationals more precise and more expressive, also the commentators didn't talk through her opening pose. On the other hand, her jumps were landed more securely at GPF:

Karen Chen:
Best performance SP: both US Nats and Worlds were good, but her UR was less obvious at Worlds because of the camera angle. Also, the NBC commentators were talking through her performance

Best performance LP: definitely US Nats: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIk-DT8CQYg
Pairs:
not such a fervent follower of pairs either, but I remember some highlights
Peng/Jin
Best performance LP: definitely 4cc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wQvb6FZgM8
Sui/Han
Best performance SP: I would say worlds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nehjtw5He5g
Savchenko/Massot LP: I would say worlds again, if not someone please correct me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUqWRVIbALk
Knierm/Knierm
Best performance SP: I'd say 4cc - they were cleaner at worlds, but the performance, expression, speed and camera angle at 4cc were better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34_e0fLkfyc
James/Cipres
Best performance LP: both WTT and Europeans were good. Personally I liked the WTT more : https://youtu.be/g0wTwWEVDsQ?t=526
