In DaS, the Forest Hunters are easily the best covenant if you want quick PvP. If you want any real quality though, you'll want to join the Darkwraiths or Blades of the Darkmoon.

The Gravelords are pretty meh. Most people will either die too quickly, or not die at all and ignore your summon sign.

Stay far away from the Path of the Dragon though. It might seem nice, but eight out of ten times, you'll end up being ganked, if you're summoned at all. Better off farming the Wyverns if you want to rank up.

For DaSII the Bell Keepers are great for early PvP and for farming Titanite Chunks. Rat King is loads of fun, as you can be very creative in how you apply the PvP portion of it. The Brotherhood of Blood and Blue Sentinels are ok, but pretty expensive as you can't get reusable orbs, they also takes a lot of dedication to get the rewards. Dragon Remnants also work pretty well, although starting with getting backstabbed isn't rare.

There is really no bad PvP covenants in DaSII, most of them are just not as convenient as their counterpart in the first game.
