What would be the quickest way to align multiple edge loops that are scaled differently to one that is scaled correctly?
Let's say I want to shape all the edge loops of the first example like the top one, so that they form a cylinder.

Tab into Edit Mode. Use Alt + RMB to select the first edge loop that you want to adjust. Set the Snapping type to Closest Vertex:
Key S, then Shift + Z, then hold down Ctrl, then hover over one of the vertices in the top loop, then LMB.
Repeat for each loop.
Procedure:
That can be done very quickly with Loop Tools addon that can be found and enabled in the user preferences.
In edit mode select top and bottom loops and in tools panel look for Loop Tools section, select Curve and all the intermediary loops will be aligned automatically.
Loop Tools Curve
In the images above. Left side original mesh. Middle Edit Mode with Loop Tools. Right side result. Loop tools are on the left side with settings. In this example we choose loops of different sizes to illustrate generality. Only two loops need be selected.
