Which of those are legitimate and which are scams/pump-n-dump schemes

It would be unfair to the coin creators to say a certain coin is a pump and dump scheme. Legitimate time and effort is put into creating them. You should instead do the research and list the coins you think are illegitimate with proof. If I had to speculate, I think WAVES is not legit.

Somebody posted on our section the list of shitcoins this 2017. Take a look at his thread maybe he can help you determine what coins are fake.https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1906412.0

WAVES
Golem
Edgeless

are all legit coin since they all have trusted devs. FYI, pump and dump scheme is not usually controlled by devs since some trader/most of traders are using that scheme on trading and it is common on cryptocurrency or even on BTC, So it is not the basis if the coin is a scam or not. The best factor to be considered to identify if the coin is scam is by determining the reputation of the devs team.

LoL Waves isnt a scam, the team delivered what they promised sofar. Price is doing good, development is great, lots of work is done within the platform.
Inform yourself. Just lol.

Do your own homework. Nobody will do it for you.

Waves is a legit coin, Did you ever read the latest update from waves project. It gets listed on IOS. That means the dev has delivered its promise. The price of waves is climbing for a lot.
IOS integration being a real evidence for us. Sasha has done his job for well. To deliver a legit update for the waves investor.

From this time waves can be determined as a legit asset.
More people try to hate waves without try to doing a research about it.

What do you mean its fake? Most of the list are good coins and living for a long time. Actually some of them are on Poloniex. FCT, waves, digibyte, nxt, maidsafe  and golem are good coin. They are legit with respected devs. But for me, Waves is the only good coin on the list which you can hold for years.

Why wouldn't you hold the other ones for years if you consider then good coins?

BTC and ETH are both scam coins  :D.

I can tell you which are not scams based on development and community:
Bitbay
Nexus
Waves
Factom
Blocknet
....

If you want to know what coins is scam see on Yobit.net, there are many coins there are scams and many traders get benefit because the dump and pump are high on that exchange. Some that I know but the coins that are not in Yobit are Qtum but can not yet say scam there are only a few problems in their project when going to run ICO.

you forget to include other hyped project as in PIVX which cause lots of pain till now to many of traders also other new one like GUP ,WING ..etc

I would say Waves is far away from scam, it is a great platform with quite a few projects based on it. Edgeless is also a unique coin, being developed as we speak. I would also exclude Golem and Factom from that list, they are good coins.

MaidSafe, waves, factom - good

I would say all of those are legit but I haven't heard of Insane, Nexus or Shift. I don't know what those are. All the others have developers and are moving along.. Digibyte? How did that get on your list?

If I had to pick from your list I would choose. Waves, Factom, Ardor, Maidsafe, Golem, Blocknet, Komodo.

NEM is an evolution of NXT with code made from scratch.. there's no big reason to buy NXT because it likely won't be further developed.  Buy it to speculate, pump, or whatever.

Second glance at your list...
Looks like not of these projects are fake or scam.
Now, the question you should be asking is which should you invest in for short and long term
