Wow, that's like asking what is hotter: Phoenix, Kuwait City or Baghdad?
I would go with deer, since they, from what I've read, kill more people in the US than any other animal, thanks to road accidents.
Thoughts?

Raccoon. Rabies comes to my mind when I hear the word raccoon. Not sure about skunks.

Realistically, deer are not as digusting as the other two and it's extremely rare for them to carry rabies. However, the damage they cause to cars in unreal.

Deer do cause much damage to cars, when hit. Plus their dam ticks cause lyme disease. Call me quirky but I do kinda like the far-a-way smell of skunks. Coons? Gotta love em, as long as your cats share food with them, and you have your garden coon proof!!!

None on your list. I find the stray cats to be the real pain. They spray everything, kill off the birds we like to watch, make walking the dogs harder, and just look sneaky. Deer may wonder in and eat your flowers, and I have not seen any raccoons in the area in over a year. We do have coyotes in the area now, and they worry me at night, but I think they are after the stray cats more than anything else. We also had an unusual event with a bear in the town next to us. Seems a man who also had been struck by lighting twice couldn’t sleep and while walking around his yard at night ran into a bear. Bear must have slapped him as he ran away, but the man did OK and just entered the record books as being very unlucky.
