Water is very precious for a healthy life. It is commonly known that drinking water should be between 5.5 to 9.5 pH. I read that the most healthy drinking water should be 7.34-7.45 pH (as human blood). Here, I have two question:
1.) Which drinking-water is more healthy for human, A=[5.5pH, 7pH] or B=[7pH, 9.5pH]. I guess that it will be B, is it right?
2.) Which drinking-water is more healthy for human, C=[lower than 5.5pH] or D=[higher than 5.5pH]. Eventually, I can ask which of these two water (C or D) is less unhealthy. I guess that it will be D, is it right?
The drinking water should have a pH between 6.5 to 8.5. Slightly acidic-neutral-slightly basic range is acceptable. Beyond this range, water should not be consumed by humans.
I would recommend you search in WHO guidance, but if you search in internet you find like this.

I agree with Ankur, that an ideal pH for drinking water should be between 6-8.5.
Ankur is right. Slightly acidic water slightly below neutral value of 7 is good for health and good in taste.
