Ive only played Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn, and Awakening- my brother played both the GBA ones.

I like Awakening the best, but I like being able to grind. Also if you change difficulty to hard and play it on classic it is IMO a little harder than Radiant Dawn.

My brother likes the 2nd GBA one the best out of all of them, and it had grinding in it.

Hard/Classic was pretty challenging at certain parts, but I think it's hard to compare the games that allow grinding to the more linear games. Though Sacred Stones (the 2nd localizezed GBA game) wasn't quite as grind-happy as Awakening was. You could fight enemies on the map, but since there wasn't a reclassing option, you were basically limited to maxing out at Promoted 20.

Out of curiousity, have you played Radiant Dawn on Hard (Maniac) mode? I actually didn't try that challenge. Hector Hard Mode on the first localized Fire Emblem (FE7: Rekka no Ken) was by far my hardest FE challenge, but I've heard a few fans claim that Radiant Dawn's hardest difficulty is comparable. It just sounded like, instead of increasing the enemy's numbers or levels, it decreased the amout of experience playable characters obtain. It didn't seem like the sort of challenge I was interested in, since the cast of that game was so huge.

Radiant Dawn on Hard = pulling teeth lol, especially on the Micaiah chapters. You cannot save if I remember correctly.
