Every kind of fishfood is the best kind of fishfood! VARIETY is key. Flake, pellets, freeze dried, frozen, fresh (such as table shrimp or veggies), there all good. Just make sure you feed food items that are keeping with the fishes nutritional needs (eg., a betta would get tropical flakes and pellets, most freeze dried and frozen foods, as well as fresh foods like shrimp - try to exclude most veggie matter when feeding bettas as hey are insectivores, while a common pleco would get mostly algae, algae discs, and vegitable matter - becuase common plecos are for the most part herbivores), and include VARIETY in the diet, and your fish will enjoy there diet WAY better than eating any one single food item every day, no matter how good that single food item may be.
i agree with dorkfish. i never put all my eggs in one basket by feeding only one kind of food. that was kind of what i thought you were getting at: what's the best food so i can only feed IT. i feed my guys frozen food, flakes, pellets, live food (worms and snails), veggies, algae wafers. as said, variety is necessary. it's like you, if you eat only one thing you're bound to develop deficiencies and health problems later on. your fish also need variety in order to get all essential nutrients. no one food contains everything, in my opinion.

New Life Spectrum gets top marks....the other just don't compare. But....I suggest feeding prepared foods along with fresh/frozen foods for best nutritional impact.
