No coda is the best because it's subjective ;) but I really like the sense of mounting catastrophe that arrives in the coda of the 3rd scherzo.

1st Scherzo, Op20 (I think) for me.

Overall, the 2nd Scherzo is my favorite to play. I think the 4th is probably his most creative, even though there's not a lot virtousic fanfare in it. The 3rd's coda however, probably takes the prize for being the most dramatic and fun to play. Even though I like the 2nd Scherzo the most, the final page gives me a "deadline's in a day I need to end this piece somehow" sort of vibe.  :P

Haha I think that coda is fine, it functions well as a buildup and final climax.
