I wouldn’t use ‘out of’. For me, I would rather use
1. Of the four seasons, I like summer best.
2. I like summer best from the four seasons.

@yanren2022 Thanks. How can I use “of” though? Maybe like this?
Of the four seasons, I like summer best.
Of the four seasons, I like summer best.

@yanren2022 So #1 is natural, but #2 is not?
1. Of the four seasons, I like summer best.
2. I like summer best of the four seasons.
1. Of the four seasons, I like summer best.
2. I like summer best of the four seasons.

I think both are grammatically correct. I guess it’s just a preference to use ‘from’ instead of ‘of’.

@yanren2022 Ok. Thank you! For the 1st sentence, would you also prefer “from” over “of”?
1. Of the four seasons, I like summer best.
1. Of the four seasons, I like summer best.
