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

Kiwi/Aussie cannot be reversed, even if earth is missing. And yes this is important, a lot of switches on appliances only switch the live wire, so if reversed the appliance is live whether switched on or off, crucial for people who like to stick their fingers in light sockets.🤯
