re: For the older gen, which was more fun? WFL, USFL, WLAF, CFL, XFL, AAF, USFL2, or Arena?

The WFL pulled way more NFL talent than any other league.

Four HOFers in Csonka, Warfield, a really old Maynard and Leroy Kelly. Plus Calvin Hill and the Mad Bomber. If the league had continued, LC Greenwood and Stabler were signed for Bham. Danny White started in the WFL

USFL had Reggie White, Steve Young, Jim Kelly, and Gary Zimmerman; all went on to NFL HOF careers.

They signed Hershel Walker, Mike Rozier, and Doug Flutie- the Heisman Trophy winners for 82, 83 and 84.

Anthony Carter, Gary Clark, Sean Landetta and Kent Hull all went to multiple Pro Bowls after coming over. Clark won 2 Super Bowls with the Redskins, Landetta 2 with the Giants, and Hull was the starting center for the Bills, who went to 4 Super Bowls (lost all 4).

The Saints took coach Jim Mora, QB Bobby Hebert, LBs Sam Mills and Vaughn Johnson (half the Dome Patrol), KR Mel Gray, and FB Buford Jordan all came over from the USFL.

There were plenty more, that's just a sampling of the talent.
