It probably depends on what you mean by the best. First I would say that Crafty
is definately the most versital, probably the strongest. Second I would point
out that Bionic is nothing but a Crafty clone, but you know that, so I don't
bother having Bionic Impact, for me, there's no paticular reason for having it.

Amoung the programs left, Phalanx is by far my favorite, but that's getting down
to subjective opinions because I think that Comet tests stronger in Winboard
tournaments. Comet B05 is very good.

If I had to pick 2 programs and not have any others I'd choose Crafty & Phalanx.
 They are very different behaving programs.
