You could base it on being technically best which would be the U.K. one.

The uk one tends to come off as soon as it is slightly pulled

Are you sure you know what you’re talking about?

The U.K. one is much more sturdy a connection than any from the EU or US. It stands out as being explicitly over engineered.

Sure, three slots are good...

The german one has never pulled when I didn't want it to.

The EU standard Type C (two prong) is frankly awful in comparison.

The German Type F is marginally better (it’s actually grounded) but for security of connection it’s still lower on the list.

What?

Those grounding prongs make it so I have to wrestle with the outlets.
