I'd generally put waffles slightly ahead of pancakes in terms of flavour and texture, but they're also more work and slower to make (especially if you whip egg whites for them), giving the overall edge to pancakes (as in, if I'm choosing one to make, it'll more often be pancakes). French toast, I tend to consider separately, since it's such a different flavour (though it's often served similarly), but if I had to rank it with the others, I'd put it slightly behind, despite being the simplest to make by far. To summarize:

If they're made for me: Waffles>Pancakes>French Toast
If I'm making them: Pancakes>Waffles>French Toast

That said, if french toast includes bread pudding (them basically being the same thing and all), that gives it more of an edge. Bread pudding is fantastic. It's much more dessert-y, though, so counting it in this comparison isn't altogether reasonable.

biscuits aren't even in the same category

I can understand including them, since they can also be served with stuff like syrup, fruit, and whipped cream, but I'm inclined to agree. Biscuits/scones are very different from the other three, in terms of flavour, consistency, method... basically everything. If nothing else, making them is way more involved than making pancakes, waffles (except maybe proper belgian ones with whipped egg whites), or French toast, so it's decidedly less feasible to whip up a fresh batch to have for breakfast.
