I hear what you're saying Squid. All I see on "Best" is simply an opinion...no actual scientific testing involved. For example "best scope". I've yet to see a head to head scope comparison that involved any testing on an optics bench- light transmission, frequency, coma etc not even a shake test on an MTS machine. Even with rifle or pistol tests, there is still a person behind the gun. That simply means that there is no "best" simply the opinion or perception of the best.
The solution to "what is the best XXX", skip over the thread.

what's funny is when someone is told what the best or a better purchase would be based on the history of durability, accuracy, reliability etc. vs price and that item ends up being the less expensive one...then person asking ends up buying the more expensive item "it's more expensive it must be better" mentality. Might as well just ask, "where can I spend extra money unnecessarily?"

That question is begging the question.... What is the BEST way to approach your question? Opinions OR facts?
Well it would be "best" if you would let us know what your specific application is, then we could "best" determine how to respond. The word "best" is subjective at "best". For example, the "best" sex toy for one person might be a farm animal to someone else, clearly these two people would have different "bests" for sex toys and live stock, they may however agree John Wayne was the "best" ever movie star. I surmise if there is no "best" there can be no "worst", kind of like a good and evil thing.
