I would go with the pulling your teeth, (or fingernails), with pliers, one at a time, as pretty bad.

what a horrible question. the answers are endless. being drawn and quartered had to be pretty bad, but of course it was relatively quick. i would hate to have my fingernails/toenails pulled out.

hmmm i ahve heard the chinese have some pretty intesne tourture methods, things where they dont kill you (straight away)...i think there was one where they slowly nailed thin bamboo sticks under your finger nails and stuff like that, i also think being skinned or burnt would be super bad.

Slowly having your intestines pulled out through your rectum sounds pretty bad in my opinion.
