Fans are 100% sure that Jackie is the clear winner
In that Reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/bluebloods/comments/s93dme/who_has_been_your_favorite_partner_for_danny/), u/Calisto_fox (https://www.reddit.com/r/bluebloods/comments/s93dme/who_has_been_your_favorite_partner_for_danny/htkcnug/) won the greatest amount of upvotes by declaring that Danny and Jackie Curatola (Jennifer Esposito) were 100% great together. u/donknoch (https://www.reddit.com/r/bluebloods/comments/s93dme/who_has_been_your_favorite_partner_for_danny/htmbjft/) quickly reinforced this by boldly stating that nothing more needed to be said. Out of all of the potential candidates that viewers could choose from, the debate mostly centered around Jackie and his current partner, Maria Baez (Marisa Ramirez). u/StevenArviv (https://www.reddit.com/r/bluebloods/comments/s93dme/who_has_been_your_favorite_partner_for_danny/htlpq7t/) added some nuance to the discussion, confessing that they have a hard time choosing between Jackie and Baez, writing, "Jackie was a much better balanced 'partner' as a cop for Danny but Baez's character compliments him more and is better for him as a person. Jackie is just a more passive version of Danny."
It's unfortunate that such a beloved fan favorite had to leave the show — but once you learn the reason why and the IRL drama behind the scenes, it's even more heartbreaking. Esposito left the show due to chronic illness (https://www.looper.com/200351/the-real-reason-jennifer-esposito-left-blue-bloods/) shortly after fainting on set. This was apparently a result of a grueling filming schedule that her body just couldn't take. The producers issued a statement suggesting that her part-time work schedule being incompatible with what they thought was best for the show, but also didn't mention her health issues. Esposito soon fired back, alleging that there was some "ugliness" between her and the series' producers but not going into much detail about it (via TV Line (https://tvline.com/2012/11/17/blue-bloods-jennifer-esposito-unpaid-suspension-makes-me-sick/)).
It's unfortunate that Esposito's bad break from the show means that fans won't get any more enjoyable drama between Jackie and Danny. But Esposito still has a thriving acting career, so there are plenty of other shows to watch her on.
