The killing curse is quick and painless and there gone. The imperius is seccond worst in my book because it could force someone to do anything and who knows what that anything could be. however i believe that that since the Cruciatus curse was mae to put people through agonizing pain that could leave them in a state of mental sock for the rest of their life it is the worst Unforgivable Curse.
As for is the dementors kiss a suitabe punishment for using an Unforgivable Curse, no, not really, the Life Sentence in Azkaban letting them die in there own mental anguish, thats punishment enough, but it is wrong for anybody, the life sentence is enough, the dementors should not have been there.
I completely agree with everything you've said - I believe that each case where an Unforgiveable has been used should be looked at and judged seperately. It may be the only option in self defence.
I also think the Dementor's Kiss is quite a bit extreme - even worse than death. I believe life imprisonment and being forced into the company of Dementors would be far worse. Being alone to rot, feeling nothing but sorrow, I think that would be a pretty bad way to go.
They can also get things wrong - look at Sirius Black. He almost received the Dementor's Kiss for a crime he didn't commit. It just seems too risky.
I'd say keep the Dementor's there as 'guards', rather than to suck someone's soul out. Keep them there to invoke misery and anguish.
