My biggest swing is "Who Mourns For Morn?" Haaaaaaaated it forever, and then watched it 2 years ago and suddenly it all clicked, now it's a favorite Trek comedy.
I really love specifically the Lwaxana portion of "The Muse" today, and think it's a beautiful wrap for her character. Depressingly, I needed to be way older to appreciate it. The Jake story remains intolerable.
"Resurrection", "Tacking Into The Wind", and "The Ascent" also come to mind as episodes that made big quality jumps when I revisited them as an adult.

The Magnificent Ferengi. I thought that episode was dumb as hell. Over the years I have come to love the episode, but it isn't my favorite DS9 comedy.
Our Man Bashir. I was aloof to the self-referential parts of the dialogue.
I've also come to respect, though not love, His Way.

Meridian was and is my most hated, auto skip skip skip whenever it comes on
That one where they are jumping around and playing games. I almost quit. But then I realized how the first year of TNG could be.
Our Man Bashir was grey area for me because of how Bashir was acting. He just seemed too hard. And arrogant. He looked good in a tux though.
emissary, because I was more invested in picard than sisko or any other ds9 character.
Sisko being a dick towards picard didn't go down well with my younger self, but now I think it's a strong episode one, probably because my investment I'm sisko increased between views.

Q Less. Not much really happens during the episode. Blowing up the station is not really a credible threat. We don't know what deus ex machina they're going to pull out, but we know something will save the station. So all we've really got is Q and Vash bickering. And Q took a punch. Was that really enough reason to get De Lancie and Hetrick out of their beds and into make up?
It's still not one of my top favorites, but Quark and Vash had some really good chemistry so I appreciate it for that.

I don't like any show employing backward ritualistic nonsense with incantations to bring forth some non corporeal entity. Whether it be some mythological "Demon" or the DS9 equivalent called the Pah-wraiths. It's no longer science fiction at that point.
