Five is actually really sarcastic, but he smiles so nicely people tend to get misled. He is, however, really good at putting up with companions who want to kill him, which some later Doctors would have been crap at.
In answer to your questions, those are all good eps, although I am increasingly turned off by the unfortunate racist pseudo-science in Tomb of the Cybermen, but Two is always very awesome. My favourite Two eps are probably things that are missing that have Polly and Ben, Web of Fear, Enemy of the World (which is much better about not being racist), The Mind Robber, The Invasion, and The War Games. (Everyone says that last one is too long, but they are wrong. There are far more ploddy and dull four parters out there. War Games is excellent and then hangs around a bit because they know we can't bear to part with the adorableness of Jamie-Zoe-Two and then leaps into game-changing revelations and HEARTBREAK FOREVER.
City of Death is the wittiest and has Julian Glover. I hope you had fun with it and weren't disappointed because of high expectations!
However, out of those three, my favourite is Inferno. I have a huge love for S7 (the proper season 7, not the new one, although I like that one more than most people seem to), and Inferno is my favourite bit of S7. "So free will is not an illusion after all." And the whole world ends this time. But then I am one of the few people who maintain that Ambassadors of Death isn't boring, so what do I know? (And I ship Brig/Liz a lot, because they are awesome. There was one time I kept writing S7 fic that didn't bother having the Doctor in. I'm still slightly annoyed that he turned up in Spearhead in Space, just when the Brig and Liz were being Mulder and Scully 20 years early.) Later UNIT stuff is a lot of fun, but S7 is its own thing, and very satisfying to watch.
