What's "best" depends on your application. There is no one LED out there that's "best" in all ways that matter... And what's best for your application, might not even be from Cree.

Nichia 219 series is renowned for excellent color rendition. I believe that Luminus still delivers the most flux from a single die/package. Bridgelux makes excellent arrays with good price/performance. Lumileds are generally regarded as being thermally and electronically more rugged than most. And of course Cree seems to hold the efficiency crown.
