What is the best 3x3 method?

If it’s for speedsolving, definitely CFOP. However; for FMC and other efficiency focused aspects of cubing, many people use Petrus or ZZ. Roux is a combination of both, having a lower move count than CFOP, but is usually faster than Petrus or ZZ.

As a ZZ enthusiast, I simply cannot deny the fact that Roux is the best by a mile from a theoretical POV. And it isn't even close. Practically, however, any of these methods probably could be pushed to be world class; CFOP is just the easiest(?)
Roux and CFOP are the best methods based on their ease of learning, predictable recognition, and their different but nonetheless major efficiencies. Roux shaves off the actual move count while CFOP optimizes the fluidity of turning.
The "best" method is the method that works for your strengths as a cuber.

in my opinion, all of these methods could theoretically be world class (even petrus!), it would just take much more practice with petrus or zz than it would with cfop or roux.

Roux - Best overall
CFOP - Easiest to learn
ZZ - The most swag

APB would be the 'modern' equivalent. I think Petrus (or Petrus adjacent methods) need to be included just for the fact that it's the worst best method. I think for a method to be considered one of the best it MUST be better than Petrus. That's kind of what happened with Mehta v APB.

Jkjk CFOP is generally the way to go if you learned the regular beginners method

I just love doing 5-style sighted solves, I can one look like Yiheng and get 55 move solutions yo.
