I don't care for PoE 2 like at all so when they drop a stinker of a league like the last one it sucks waiting for the next one.
If you like POE 1, you should definitely play Phrecia. I consider the last Phrecia league to be the best POE league of all time. With 19 different ascendance, there are so many new build possibilities. The idols also allow for unconventional mapping strategies. Last Phrecia league, I made like 8 mirrors in less than 3 weeks.
We haven't received the patch notes for Phrecia 2 yet, so we don't know all the specifics but I have high hopes.
I think Keepers League (3.27) was an okay league. The ground loot was nerfed and the nerf to map mod effect made that even worse. The Monastery Tree was was pretty good for crafting. Foulborn Uniques were a fun addition to the game. Graft Hands were also a good power boost to builds. The Breach Hand mechanic inside maps felt pretty unrewarding and also somewhat intrusive into other content. The addition of merchant tabs made trading much smoother.
I didn't play POE 2 Druid League (0.4). I saw a few streams with people running the league temple mechanic and getting a lot of divine orbs. I don't like a lot of the design principles of POE 2.
The next POE 1 league (3.28) will be released early March. The next POE 2 league (0.5) should be released late April or early May.
