No idea which is best on a side-by-side comparison level. I use an SIII at the moment. Will probably go for an S4 in a little while. Just do not see the point in paying over the odds for the latest and "greatest" new phone as i do not need it.

The one that has a signal and works anywhere when you need to make a call.

Depends what you want to use it for! 
These days phones aren't used just for making and taking calls, it's become more of a secondary function!. Also size of phones is a big consideration. I think the best are LG G3 for screen, Samsung Galaxy S5 for camera, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for phablet, Sony Xperia Z1 Compact for “small” phone, Sony Xperia Z2 for battery life, but I think the one regarded as the best overall is the HTC One M8.

I have a Google Nexus 5 and I love it. It's so cheap every month and has a fantastic camera.
Battery life is around a day but that includes playing games and surfing the net.
is it waterproof? I'm not sure. I presume not!

I have the s5 and its splash and dust proof and thats good enough for me. The size bugs me as they are getting too big. The HTC m8 and the Sony z2 are bigger again and weigh more so they would definately be off my list.
I think I would wait and see what the s5 mini has to offer if they are making one?

Nexus 5 if you vanilla Android is your thing.
Giffgaff as a provider if not being tied to a stupidly long contract is your thing also. Their contract arrangements are ahead of the pack by a huge margin.

S5 for me for its screen, camera, performance. It is NOT waterproof its water resistant. Yes you can take it for a quick swim but don't be surprised if it fails if you keep doing it. Touchwiz is pants but any droid i get always gets a launcher applied, Nova Prime usually, then its awesome.
G3 is nice but the screen is not as good as the S5 and it also has UI lag.
M8 is good but no replaceable battery! Best speakers on the market, camera is pants.

the wife has had galaxy s2, s3 and s4 and I've always found they are great (and better than my phone at the time)
I've had HTC (hated every minute I used it) and sony xperia's (not impressed), I've just upgraded to the galaxy s5
what a device
the screen is not just HD, it's 4k. can't believe how crisp the picture is
it's rated as IP67, waterproof to 1M

I have the S2 and its a pile of sh!te. Battery lasts one hour tops, and it keeps turning itself on and off.
Best phones are the old ones that could do nothing apart from call and text. My old Nokia could last days on a full charge.

That's a shame the S5's battery is awesome if you know how to setup things correctly. Normal usage it will last a day or two between charges with medium to heavy usage without a problem. And if you utilise the ultra power saving mode it will last a week.

Fairly sure my battery is knackered. But also this phone has been very buggy ever since I got it. Turning itself on and off randomly and crashing/freezing. Also I'm with 3 and never get signal 
To be fair most others with Galaxy's seem ok, I probably got a bad pick off the line

I have the s4 z2 and z2 tablet, if you like android and want to stay there then I'd go z2 or htc m8, I find the samsung flimsy. The sony is heavy but very nice.
That being said I've been a long time apple fan, and only just tried android these last 8 months. I,ll be honest apple all the way for me, android just doesn't cut it for me.
