Mecha Thun seems to have a few good decks forming around it, but you would have to like playing combo decks and have the cards to play the combo.
Dr. Boom is solid, but Mech Warrior hasn't been on ladder too much, or have you seen it more than me?
Zillax is already popping up in decks with no other mechs that is probably the safest craft especially if as it looks now Zoo decks like Heallock, and Odd Pally are going to be top tier. Zillax is going to be good.
Though Combo decks also seem to be on the rise.
Whizbang seems to have hype but I don't understand why. HS has a Tavern Brawl every year where you play their generally awful and often boring deck recipes. I never enjoy it. Seems like this is a less consistent version of that. If playing bad decks is your thing...you can just make a bad deck. Making bad decks is easy and doesn't require a big card pool or an expensive legendary.
I would say it depends on what your collection looks like.
Floop is quite good, while he's really mostly used for Malygos right now, he would be a good card in other druid decks. It's a really versatile card. If you have the stuff to play Malygos and that interests you he's a great craft if you want the best version of the deck. You can play Malygos druid without him though with the Florist. This is the only legendary from the new expansion I crafted.
Soularium is strong in zoo lock so if you have that deck you can improve it. I also played against an odd quest warlock and it helped advance his quest pretty quickly, lol. I wouldn't craft this unless you really like zoo lock though.
Zilliax, of all those cards, probably has the largest amount of decks he can fit into. Any mech deck loves Zillax, and you can make huge plays and swing turns with him. Even in non mech centered decks he isn't a bad card. I've seen him get cubed in deathrattle and then the rogue/hunter triggers the deathrattle with a card and ends up with like 3 of them.
Mechathun has some combo decks built around him. I personally wouldn't craft him just to play them unless you just really love combo decks and already have Hemet.
Dr. Boom is a good and fun card, but warrior isn't in the best place right now. Wouldn't craft this unless you really love warrior and have a good warrior collection.
Malfurion DK and UI are two of the most powerful cards built for druids and are used in almost all decks (both wild and standard) so yes they are safe crafts!
I think that Zilliax has Lifesteal makes it a must craft. Eventually people will figure out that 6 potential healing as a baseline is quite useful attached to all the other keywords you get. It's also a buff which gives certain classes and builds access to the kind of burst that wasn't previously available.
Worst case scenario you put him in a random control deck of any class and it provides consistent value in most circumstances. The incentive to run a few extra mechs should also protect you against early game aggro, which even aggro players can agree is healthy for the game.

If you thought you knew what you think I know, then you'd know I knew you knew I know.
I have Malygos and love playing combo decks with him like MalyRogue and Eureka Shaman, but I dont have core Druid cards like Malfurion the Pestilent and Ultimate Infestation. I also have Hemet, Jungle Hunter, which is one of the reasons I wanted to craft Mecha'thun. I admit Warrior isn't in the best place, but it can deal with Odd Paladin, Zoolock, and Odd Rogue pretty comfortably, which is all I'm seeing at rank 5.
Whizbang is the most valuable if your favour variety and if you enjoy playing random mode. Some of the decks are absolutely terrible (I'm looking at you, Control Shaman) but most of the decks at least include some fun combos. I got up to rank 4 with Whizbang but have since dropped down to 5 and am struggling to maintain more than a 50% winrate with him now so its more of a fun than competitive craft.
Dr Boom is the strongest card in a vacuum but Mech Warrior seems pretty weak at the moment - worth a craft if you like the challenge of either piloting a substandard deck based around an OP legendary or being creative and making your own better deck.
Soularium seems like the safest craft of all as it will always be good in some form of aggressive Warlock.
I crafted Zerek's Cloning Gallery and haven't regretted it. This thing is nuts in deathrattle decks and cancer in Wild with Big Priest. I don't know why everyone bashed this card, I love it.
Craft something unique or fun, don't craft the highest tier legendaries. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem!
That being said, don't craft Floop. He's very overrated. There's already like 4 different guaranteed "survive until turn 15 and you kill them in 1 shot" druid decks, and he's redundant with all of them. Dreampetal Florist is 1/4 the cost and literally as good, if not better in any situation. Cthun is a decent craft though (if you want to be an uninteractive, combo-toting asshole). Cthun does create a lot of new decks and CANNOT be replaced, so he might be a good craft as well. Dr. Boom is really good and really fun too.
I would say it depends on what your collection looks like.

holy shit, another odd quest warlock player! Didn't think they existed other than me!
zilliax is a good choice, he goes in any deck with mechs and even if they don't his stats are good stand alone, then id say dr boom next since he is amazing. maybe try seeing what epic cards you might want too

Its been a few days after the Boomsday Project release, and even though the meta hasn't settled yet, I was thinking about crafting a few legendaries. I already have Electra Stormsurge, Myra's Unstable Element, and Zerek, Master Cloner. I can afford to craft about 3 legendaries with the dust I have saved up. Right now, I'm thinking that the best legendaries are: Soularium, Whizbang the Wonderful, Dr. Boom, Mad Genius, Zilliax, Flobbidinous Floop, and Mecha'thun. Which ones should I craft?
First card I crafted was Dr. Boom Mad Genius and I don't regret it one bit!
I think craft legendaries alone isn't useful, craft cards to make decks is more (except if you craft whizbang).
So my advice is to craft cards to improve your decks or to create new decks.
Probably Flobbidinous floop if you have Malygos or Handronox.
Mecha Thun seems to have a few good decks forming around it, but you would have to like playing combo decks and have the cards to play the combo.

This and no Boomsday Legendary has proven to be the thing to craft. I must say I crafted Zilliax myself because you can use it easily in many desks
Zilliax is my personal favourite, but it's up to the decks which you would like to play.
I would say it depends on what your collection looks like.

Safest craft is Zilliax for sure.
I have Malygos and Hadronox, but I don't have core Druid cards, such as Malfurion the Pestilent and Ultimate Infestation. Are they worth the craft?
Malfurion DK and UI are two of the most powerful cards built for druids and are used in almost all decks (both wild and standard) so yes they are safe crafts!
Achieved Legend: S49-Even Paladin, S58 (Wild)- Odd Rouge + Even Shaman
Don't forget Luna.
I think that Zilliax has Lifesteal makes it a must craft. Eventually people will figure out that 6 potential healing as a baseline is quite useful attached to all the other keywords you get. It's also a buff which gives certain classes and builds access to the kind of burst that wasn't previously available.
