None of them are evil, since they all use zubats!!!
Except team plasma that is!

Cyrus, was a deranged sociopath who wanted to murder every human and Pokemon in the universe because he desired an existence free of spirit. As if that weren't enough, he was willing to lie to and manipulate countless people, steal Pokemon, blow up lakes, and torture the Legendary Pixies to accomplish it
Which criminal organization was the most evil? I think it's pretty hard to disagree with Team Galactic holding that title, considering their leader, Cyrus, was a deranged sociopath who wanted to murder every human and Pokemon in the universe because he desired an existence free of spirit. As if that weren't enough, he was willing to lie to and manipulate countless people, steal Pokemon, blow up lakes, and torture the Legendary Pixies to accomplish it. Despite all of this, we know that Cyrus is a VERY sick individual, and I actually feel a bit sorry for him living in a world devoid of love and desiring to spread that misery to everyone around him. In Platinum, at least, he somewhat gets what he wants, being trapped in the Distortion World.
I haven't played BW2 yet, so I can't speak for Neo Plasma, but my two cents
Team Cipher and Team Rocket win, for a few simple reasons
1) None of the other teams had the guts to try to take over cities. Cipher would invade cities and run them. Team Rocket took over Saffron Completely, was openly operating out of multiple places in Celadon with no one being able to stop them, and took over the most important spot in Lavender town. They literally controlled the center of the Kanto region, and used that to their advantage.
2) They are the only teams to test on and torture pokemon. Cipher peons were promoted by how well they tortured pokemon. They created shadow pokemon, and a Shadow Lugia. Giovanni tested on and created Mewtwo, and looking at the much darker tone of the Gen. 1 games, it's easy to see many pokemon (Ditto, Grimer, Porygon etc.) as being byproducts of Team Rocket Shenanigans. That doesn't even mention the Lake of Rage incident and the takeover of Goldenrod.
3) The peons were ruthless, and not misguided. They would terrorize townsfolk, kill pokemon, and were actually menacing. The same can't be said of Aqua, Magma, Galactic, or Plasma
4)Giovanni is only matched by Ghestis in terms of Malice and Cruelty
Though the effects of Plasma and Galactic were much larger in scope than Rocket or Cipher, they lack the malice that was in every pore of Rocket and Cipher
Greevil and Evice easily match Giovanni. Plus, since Lovrina actually created XD001...
The whole team is laughable as well. The police even knew that Team Galactic had hideouts and didn't even bother to take them down.
Now, while I agree with you for the most part, I have to ask; who is really more laughable in this situation, Team Galactic or the police?
Well, while that's certainly a possibility, we don't know for sure that his "remaking" of the universe would have incurred the death of all other living things. They might simply become devoid of all emotions. He does say to the player that they will "wake up in a world without spirit," which would be kinda hard to do if they were dead.
Well, I suppose my statement regarding his plan is up to interpretation. I, personally, always was under the assumption that Cyrus would spare no one if he wanted to rid the universe of emotion. Remember what he says at the Spear Pillar:
"I've waited so long for this moment, Dialga and Palkia. Shaping this world is a double spiral of time and space. Yes, the very things that you have the ability to control! You will do my bidding! I will have your abilities as mine! With the power I wield, I will create an entirely new world! The incomplete and ugly world we have now can disappear. I am resetting everything to zero. Nothing can remain. It is all for making the ultimate world. A world of complete perfection. Nothing so vague and incomplete as spirit can remain."
Thank you, Bulbapedia! Again, I don't think Cyrus was a particularly malicious or sadistic individual. I doubt he would have taken any joy in the murder of others, even if it was a part of his plan. I think he just didn't care. Considering how mechanical Cyrus was in nature, it's not a stretch to believe he would simply disregard so much death.
The police.
Cipher. They twist Pokemon into fighting (implied to also kill) machines.
Also, Ghetsis. Not Plasma as a whole, just Ghetsis.
