Cell saga isnt the best arc in Z, but Buu saga is objectively the worst.

Cell saga WOULD have been the best if the Buu saga didnt exist, because Goku passing the torch to his son is the best writing Toriyama ever did, though thats a very low bar. The Buu saga ruins that, so the Cell saga becomes pretty meh with all the badly written time travel shenanigans.

The problem with the Faulconer soundtrack is that it never stops. The original soundtrack has a lot of silence that lets things breathe, and it just works a lot better. Plus, the Japanese SSJ2 theme is way better in particular.

DragonBall > DBZ though, in general.

Finally, no. Most of the characters becoming useless is not a shnen thing, not to anywhere even remotely near the degree it is in DBZ. All the human characters were literally useless from the moment Z started, you cant say that about any other shnen. Especially compared to the good shnen like One Piece, where the crew has consistently grown and everyone is as useful as they ever were if not more.
