Lower is better, formula is (resistances + 1.5*immunities - vulnerabilities):

To summarize:

• Poison is by far the worst.

• Next tier is fire, nonmagical weapons, and cold.

• Next tier is acid and lightning

• Next tier is necrotic, psychic, thunder, (magical) piercing and (magical) slashing.

• Finally, there's force, radiant, (magical) bludgeoning, spells and magic weapons.
