One important thing to consider is that there may be a sensible way to define “best” that is not susceptible to this type of problem. Most notably, there may be a suitable, solvable, and realistic subclass of problems over which to evaluate performance. Also, even if there is no “best”, there can still be better and worse.
There was some discussion of much the same point in this comment thread
