First of all, as a regular visitor of this place you should know that for every result in which Program X is strongest, another result gives Program Y as the strongest. Futhermore "best" nor "best NOW" falsely suggest absolute values. It is asking like "what car is best NOW". Maybe best is an 18 wheeler. It will put 1,000,000 kilometers behind the wheels whithout problems. Or a Ferrari Enzo, as it will top 330kph. Or a Maybach, as it's most spaceous and luxurious. Or a Fiat Panda, as it's compact and fuel efficient. Now what is the best car? What is the best car NOW? There is no absolute best. There is no absolute best NOW either. There is at most the best possible at this moment for the goal you use it for. And - what's the best engine NOW? And why? And why are all the others WORSE? J.
