I would agree that all have potential to be the best with each specializing in a specific skill. However, in terms of best overall now (not including Freelancers), I would say that Simmons, Tucker, and Epsilon would be the top three. Reason is because: In the end, I can see these three to have the best chances to survive on their own. All the other Reds and Blues specialize in one skill, but as of now, it seems these three are the only great soldiers of their group with diverse amount of skills.
 * Simmons is the most intelligent human member of the group, is proven to be a great heavy weapon specialist, and he's shown to be one of the most physically fit. Not to mention, Simmons has proven to be a great leader and strategist, which would make him the best if he can overcome his psychological issues.
 * Tucker has average intelligence (which beats most of the other Reds and Blues), is proven to be the best combatant of the Simulation Troopers, and recently shows great potential to be a leader. While Simmons is smarter, Tucker is more skilled in combat, which makes the two the best out of the other Simulation Troopers.
 * Epsilon is clearly the most advance A.I. in the series now, showing more skill then Church ever had in the past. Also, Epsilon is much calmer then Church, which makes him easier to cooperate with to be a leader.
