I've never looked for "the best". I have them ALL except Studio One Pro 4...
I only have Artist, and the upgrade to Pro is what I'm after...dirt cheap.
I agree that Cubase is slightly ahead of the curve, but you'll never convince
S1 Fanboys of that...ever...or fanboys of any other DAW, as, to them,
THEIRS is always "The Best"! And THAT is what this is all about!
What works best for YOU!
