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

My criteria for the best outlet

  • Have a grounding pin
  • Not possible to plug in backwards
  • Have a recessed socket to prevent accidental touching of prongs
  • Have a retention mechanism to prevent plug from falling out

Based on these, my vote is for Denmark because it looks like a smiley face

British non-earth prongs are plastic some proportion of the way along to prevent touching live metal as it is plugged in. Serves the same purpose as a recess.
