Which is the best 4x4x4 cube?

Dayan+Mf8 all the way. If you lube and adjust it right it'll way better than the XCube, no doubt about it.

Also it's way cheaper.

I love it too. But the outer layers on an X-Cube are considerably faster IMO. Good if you implement Redux.
 
lan lan 4x4 is the best...for your wallet and is much better than a rubik's brand.

For $5.58, you get a pretty decent cube.

True. The DaYan does take it farther than the rest though. Despite its size.

True that^^. Last comp I got 2 normal solves (1:15), 2 solves where several edges and 2 corners flew out (2:00), but also a solve where I handled it well and got sub 60. Dayan is "all or nothing" for me. STILL waiting for a 4x4x4 that is "all" all the time

If Maru didn't lockup on me I would consider it perfect. :/ it never misaligns. Just stupid lockups, its catching on something when i turn it sometimes.
 
Do not get a QJ: The Shengshou costs the same or even less and is way better (however, the QJ mini used to be the best 4x4 for quite a while).
X-cube and Dayan pop the same (like once in 5-10 solves) but the Dayan just pops out one or two pieces and the X-cube explodes into a hundred of pieces. I lost one after a pop and can't use the cube anymore. And the inner layers of the X-cube aren't that great as well. Get the Dayan it is definately worth it - and the WR cube.
Edit: If a cube cuts 45°, this means that cutting 20° is way easier.
And yes, there is no perfect 4x4, but maybe there will be an mf8 V2? Like the SS V2? At least, I hope for one :D

I don't get it. I can't tell a difference between the QJ and the mini QJ other than size. Why would you think the mini was very good but the regular QJ wasn't? They cut corners about the same (which means pretty much not at all) and they're about equally fast turning (very fast - mine are faster than my GuHong 3x3x3s - to me that's the advantage of the QJ 4x4x4s).

My really good QJ broke (I dropped it 4 feet onto a hard tile floor :(). My other QJ and my mini QJ aren't terrible, but they're nowhere near as good as my good QJ was. So I'm trying to decide what to replace it with.
 
Let's not be mediocre... The LanLan IS cheap but it's not really worth it. To my opinion, the Shengshou (ghost hand II), the DaYan + mf8 and Maru are the ones you should get if you want a good cube, without spending that much money... The X-Cube is way too expensive... It's even more expensive than the bloody V-Cube 5!
 
Step one: buy dayan 4x4 17-20 ish dollars
step two: buy lanlan 2x2 4-8 ish dollars
step three: take apart dayan 4x4 to 3x3 core
step four: put lanlan screws, springs, and edges in 3x3 core
step five: lube, tighten
step six: love life
