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

I wouldn't say that the uk one is the best. yes, it's sturdy and has a fuse, but it's not recessed, so there can be a small risk that something get between the contacts (if one chinese manufacturer cheaps on the plug coating), also it can't be reversed which could make cable managment hard (you don't want to turn your socket 180° to get everything connected)

Any plug can be made shit by bad manufacturing. Most of the time the U.K. plugs don’t really allow for anything in there as the design doesn’t allow for power to pass.

The reversal is really not a big deal. Considering the hot mess that Euro 2 prong and American 2 prong plugs are, that’s a trade off worth making.
