If you go by the Special Forces competitions that are played out ever so often, the US Special Force that wins every time is the US Air Force Pararescue Force. They are like Navy Seals that are full on medics and do the jobs of the Green Berets/Delta Force and are trained snipers. So, they get my vote... Assuming, of course, that you say the US special forces are the best (they aren't always, just depends on the job/mission that is required.

You have to define "best". The most physically fit? The strongest? the best endurance? The smartest? the best at completing a wide variety of missions? It could depend on the mission...
And you know who doesn't show up for the special forces competition.....the ones that 'don't exsist'. They may or may not be 'better' than the 'normal' SF, but the funding they get is basically unlimited, so the training and equipment and resources allocated helps them complete missions that others might not be able to do. Sometimes they need to pick and chose from different untis to find the ebst match and best qualified and sometimes that includes OGA types. You also have other 'behinds the scenes' and not so much 'snatch and grab' types that are very good at what they do and the other types couldn't do what they did if it wasn't for some of the intel recieved from those other types.
It is kind of like asking someone what their favorite movie is. You can't really pick one, too many factors to decide and it doesn't matter, a good movie is a good movie. They are highly trianed, highly funded units, with a more selective 'recruiting' process than others soldiers, so you are going to get more sucess than your 'avg' units. That isn't to say that they are super human or they are guaranteed that all members of their unit are superior than any other unit.
It is almost comparible to professional sports. Sure many of them are good, but they also get funding that makes their training better than many and they are able to perform great at their job. But there are plenty of people in the world that could be as good or better than them if they had the same funding or dedication or desire. Which is what it really comes down to, dedicatoin and desire, SF community has more of that than anyone, but I still don't think you can chose one over the other.
