I know what I like, but there are always newbies here, and I'd like to know which herbs you find acceptable dry (we don't all live in places where you can have fresh year 'round) and which are "don't bother".
Personally, I don't bother with dried basil or parsley. They don't taste anything like the fresh. Heck make that they don't taste at all, to me.
On the other hand, dill, oregano, sage and thyme are just fine, in some cases better, dry.
Bay leaves are weird. To me they actually taste stronger fresh than dried!
All a matter of opinion, feel free to disagree!
