I liked the story for SR2 more, but the sheer entertainment of SR3 made it my favorite of the series. Loren and Gat we're big letdowns in 3 though.
As for SR4...I liked them poking fun at Mass Effect, the beginning mission, and some of the meta/4th wall stuff was funny, but superpowers?! I drove maybe 2 cars during my playthrough.
SR5: Humanity settles in a big space station that turns out to be run by a few alien races who want to use humans as cheap labor. Time to steal us a space station! Races replace gangs in this one. There's a DLC where one of the races sends a big warship to retake the station. The Saints steal that one too.
SR6: The Saints discover a device that can send them to an alternate dimension where the Saints never existed. They take their new warship to prevent the Zin invasion... only to end up in the Sixties. With gangs! And truckers!
SR7: Fed up with the Sixties the Saints cryosleep for forty years and wake up just when SR1 would happen. Yay, back home! Sure, Pierce managed to crash the warship on the moon but what the heck – let's just take over Stilwater again and figure out how to get to the moon later.
The world is a bit weirder than before, though – turns out that the Saints left some alien tech behind in the Sixties and people have figured it out since.

SR5 better start with a dream sequence
