Final Destination is all I can think of...but then again, he is chain-grabbed there.

Really depends on who he's playing.
For example, you wouldn't want to play a Peach/Samus on DL, since large ceiling/boundaries make both of them extremely annoying to kill.

fod is bad because u get stuck on the platforms sometimes when you SHL
fd is good if they cant cg you
yoshi story is always a solid pick
and oufcourse falco does well on other neutral stages like ps bf and dl
falco is also good in alot of gay stages like RC, jungle japes, poke floats etc etc

Mr C. said that FoD is his best stage. I assume it's b/c the platforms save him from being chaingrabbed.

hmm...what about corneria? fighting at the back of the ship, falco could survive till extremely high damages because he could tech off the big wing. And because of the low ceiling, falco could make very easy kills with d-tilt and uair.

just to clear up a misconception:
falco does NOT **** fox on final destination.
also, this depends on the opponent. i'll address the neutral stages:
FD: falco's great here because of SHL, but ice climbers, fox, falcon, and even luigi can exploit the stage's flatness just as well as falco can because of fast ground movement.
Battlefield: great for falco also. only problem is recovery, you can't hug the slope on this stage when recovering. marth is best on this stage in almost any situation, however.
Yoshi Story: easy spikes and horizontal kills, plus that triple shine on the top platform. however, expect some marth ****. perhaps some ganondorf **** (even some bowser ****... some call this stage bowser story.)
Dreamland: it's a good stage for falco, but the platform heights may hinder a lot of combos. peach and samus are b*tches to kill here, as someone already pointed out. also, wind and massive air space hinder falco's recovery. i'd say this is falco's worst of the neutral stages, but he can still do plenty here.
fountain of dreams: similar to dreamland. however... there's that trick with that low platform... i call it the Forward trick lol. constant drills! (you can find it in forward's C.O.C.K. combo video against a peach. AWESOME AND SEXY tactic)

Shiz also does that in his video. Correct me if I'm wrong. Best Stages? Final destination, Foutain of Dreams, and I ususally do pretty well on Pokemon Stadium.

I'd say I'd go with yoshi's story as the best because the blast zones are so close falco's recover doest reach far but by limiting the blast zones you can even up the advantage over falco's recovery plus you have the wall on the sides of the stage to ride on for ledge teching and all platforms are easily accessible to falco. Its also hard for an opponent to run away in a small stage so if falco picks up momentum he would be pretty hard to stop. As for worst stage I think it'd be a tie between fd and fod

Their is not really a bad stage for Falco you just got to be careful and smart
It depends against who, if you're against m2k like marth FD is not as good as if you were against a fox, or another falco. This one is pretty neutral but only bad against marth that can 0 to death you from a grab. Fox, peach and marth have chaingrabs and combos, falcon has tech chasing potential as well as sheik, puff can't 1HKO you with rest if you are not near the edges. You on the other hand, have the ability to laser camp and combo very well.
You may want to pick FD when you're confident that your skill is better.
Dream Land is OK against falcon, marth, fox, falco but it gives and advantage to puff and peach (and many other characters in general) because they can extend their lifes significantly longer due to the big ceiling and larger blast zones on the sides of this stage, and the fact that they have much better recoveries than yourself. Combos and camping are pretty good here because the stage is fairly big but no kills off the top with shine or firebird and getting kills with fsmash, bair, or dsmash is hard as well.
You usually don't want to go DL
Battefield is good because it doesn't give the same advantage for puff and peach that DL does, but then again the edges are weird on this stage, which forces many characters to either go high or try to sweetspot, this makes falcon easy to edgeguard (or ganon for that matter) and marth will always try to sweetspot since his horizontal recovery sucks. However this is also bad for you since you can get gimped easily by many characters; specially marth, sheik and peach. You still have the combos and the blastzone from below is closer to the level so getting dairs off stage will almost always result in a kill or easy edgeguard, kills are also possible to get off the top via shine and the blastzones from the sides don't give you many KO problems as it's not that hard to get a KO with bair or fsmash.
This is a good stage for falco.
Yoshi Story has the cloud and walls from below the edge that benefit your recovery because you can wall jump or wall jump tech in case they go down and try to hit you, you're still gimpable but not as bad as on battlefield. Combos are pretty good, blastzones from side to side are somewhat closer to the stage wich makes forward smash a good choice, however this also benefits every other character as well, specially falcon's fair, sheik's fair and marth's tipper. Puff destroys you with rest here but is possible to kill her off the top and getting a read with a forward smash might also kill her.
This is a good stage for falco.
Fountain of dreams is somewhat the same thing as in yoshi story but there are these moving platforms that can screw up people, so if you're really good at using them (which any falco should) this should be good stage for you, the downside it doesn't give you much room to run away (you should be pretty agressive here). It can mess up falcon, but marth may love it because of the easy upthrow + uptilts, puff also kills with rest unless you're on the center + good DI. Also keep in mind that the platforms dissapear from time to time so it gets neutral at some point and combos are easier against fox, falco, falcon.
This stage is OK for falco.
Lastly, I consider Pokemon Stadium to be neutral, the transformations aren't that useful for many characters, maybe except fox but not against you. Unlike Final Destination, here you can kill marth, sheik, puff, peach or any floatie off the top with a combo that ends with shine or shine + firebird close to the ceiling. Spacies and falcon can die like this but is not as common as it is with floaties. Also the wall just below the edge is kind of weird and is not straight wall just like yoshi story or somewhat diagonal like on final destinatio, is really weird and tech is a bit difficult and it may mess up your recovery.
