Agreed. Have a spot for albula, but thats only the way up to st-moritz/Silvaplana, which btw is a great and famous place to camp, to witness the kitesurfing action.
Sinplon is a roadie pass, to cross fast from Leman through Valais, ie large roads and smooth gradients, especially italian side. but its functionnal, as described below, and not the most enjoyable.
St-bernard is a bit better in this genre, with the added bonus of the monastery.

If you choose to go through the Swiss Rhone valley and cross to Italy, I would take the Nufenen pass, the descent into Airolo is one of the best I have done ever.
Simplon pass is shitty, lots of traffic including trucks. If you decide to go Furka from the Oberwald side and descend to Realp, be aware as that is the "shitty side" :)
